Trendy Furrow is a dead good weblog. Sean is a VBScript/ASP guy, which will get him nothing but brickbats rather than bouquets from a pretty reasonable proportion of the tech weblogger community (and me on bad or hypocritical days), but I do ASP stuff all day (Python stuff all night). Not only can I sympathise with his struggles with MSXML and the like, he certainly has the hacker nature (he's ported Textile to VBScript, which I was just abot to do myself for a project here at work, for a start: this is not the act of some MS-obsessed droid), his writing creases me up in places ("I fucking hate XML schemas. That was a waste of a few hours I could have spent punching myself in the face"), he's Irish, and I think he lives pretty close to me (I'm really close to the border with Warwickshire). Added to blogroll and RSS subscriptions. It's always nice to discover new people.
And this is Discovering new people, written , and concerning Uncategorized

The Textile port is close enough for government work, as the saying goes. It seems to be working OK in the application I’m putting it to; if I come across any errors I’ll hack on it and wing back changes. Sorry about the Irish thing; I’m similarly of Irish descent, so it’s nice to see other people around.

Well thank you. Two things.
1) The Textile port is kind of broken; it seems to be something to do with vbNewLine not being the same as \n in a regular expression.
2) I’m not Irish, just of Irish descent.
thank u
