It is not terribly exciting news, but I’ve upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. There are several improvements, but the main one that I’m happy about is that permalinks now work properly under my hosting account. Unfortunately, this means that the old URLs to posts probably won’t work. Oh well, the new linking structure is better and does not depend upon IDs. Since I don’t think anyone is making bookmarks just yet, I’ll go ahead with the switch anyway.

I am an analyst with a problem. Well, I actually have a number of problems, but there is a particular one I want to write about right now. The problem is this: I am working on a rather large project which makes heavy use of XML and XSLT, and we can not find developers who are comfortable with the technology. I’m not saying that we do not have anyone competent, nor am I on a fishing expedition for another developer (so don’t ask). What I am saying is that, as we have interviewed developers for various positions, I’ve seen a surprising lack of experience with or even knowledge of essential XML technologies. Even with the developers we currently have, I’m seeing a lack of comfort with the tools.
