Matt: "By far the most significant argument for XML on the web, however, is the complexity of existing HTML processors, a direct result of the compatibility hacks required to deal with naughty content... And the cruft that the current generation of HTML engines must accumulate to deal with real-world web markup is a huge barrier to progress." 2007-10-17T10:54:09ZUntitled entry permalink

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am in preparation for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.
