Extreme XML - Extending XSLT
Lately, I have been working with quite a bit of XML within the .NET libraries. In certain cases, I could do a lot with the forthcoming XPath v2 (see prior posting) but that's not yet available for development. I came across Dare Obasanjo's article on EXSLT: Enhancing The Power of XSLT. It provides functions that support regular expressions, set based operations, and date-time processing. This hits the spot (for the moment).

GPS Stumped
My GPS library to read and parse NMEA strings is on a holding pattern - I can't find a driver or patch to read USB ports. I need it to map to a virtual COM port as my mapping package expects COM port inputs also.

Does LINT matter?
I recall a C/C++ project at a major client-site over a decade ago, the tech team leader insisted on compiling with the highest warning level. This would ferret out inconsistencies and mitigate bugs. He really went wild when he deployed Gimpel Software's PC-Lint for C/C++ and peer-review sessions were brutal. 'Lint' was a seperate tool in the old UNIX boxes that checked for language-only anamolies or hinted at it.
