Presenetation Sources, Interviews and updated Resources
In 2004, lkcl wrote an article on Advogato saying "Love is Golden: All Ideas Have and Always Will be". For a long time, I've been supplying the HTML material for my presentations under permissive, free-content licences, but did not supply the source code and markup used to generate them. Inspired by the article, I set to remedy it, and now there are links from the individual presentations to the source tarballs.
Note that some presentations were created using other tools, and so are not available with their source yet, but hopefully this will be remedied soon, too.
The two Interviews with open-source people were now converted to XML-Grammar-Screenplay and their source is available on the page.
The Software Contruction and Management Tools page was heavily updated.
New links have been added to the pages "Against Bad Software".
New film recommendations have been added to the movie recommendations. Moreover, two new book reviews have been added: about "The Pragmatic Programmer" and about "Extreme Programming Explained".
New links have been added to the links page.
New quotes have been added to the Fortune Cookie Collection. More information is in their web-feeds.
There were also internal improvements to the site's build system making the building of the DocBook/XML documents and other resources less error-prone and more powerful and customisable.
FOAF updates: Trust rankings are now exported, making the data available to other users and websites. An external FOAF URI has been added, allowing users to link to an additional FOAF file.
