Old MetaWrap Demo
Found an an early draft of some concept materials for the original MetaWrap Project “Fish” (1998-2001) that could turn any existing HTML website into an XML data-source by the application of the MetaWrap pattern language. This single XML file recursively defined … Continue reading →
No Mozilla Protocol Plug-in Example Or Documentation
http://www.mail-archive.com/mozilla-netlib@mozilla.org/msg02102.html So looks like I’m giving up on Mozilla development of a protocol plugin in C++ – the platform is simply just not mature enough to develop against. I have wasted 4 hours of my life only to find that someone has … Continue reading →
Web Patterns
Cool article that takes the concept of design patterns and applies it to web development. “….In short, we lack a pattern language for the web. But is our discipline mature enough to develop this vocabulary and language? Only trying to … Continue reading →

More On The MetaWrap URL Format
If you have noticed the MetaWrap test server has been up and down for last few weeks. Its because I have been playing with the Apache module. Finally got the framework compiling again under Linux. Win32 Apache was easy. Getting the new version … Continue reading →
Finite State Automata – The State Of The Art
[Rescued from the old blog – Thanks to Damian] I’m trawling through conventional theory at the moment to see if my approach shows up on the radar anywhere – if it does then I can probably get some hints and … Continue reading →
Something Else For The MetaWrap Javascript Library
http://www.ripcord.co.nz/behaviour/ I really really like this. It uses the CSS selector syntax to style elements with javascript code. You only need to keep one mapping paradigm in your head and its consistent for appearance and behavior. I was considering using … Continue reading →
And They Said I Was Crazy
