New mailing list to discuss making an international organisation for XML (IXO??), a new home. The future of declarative markup, perhaps.
https://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=IOXML-L&A=1
An upcoming zoom call on 25th September is also open.

This past thursday we had our first XML user group meeting, an informal exchange of ideas with one formal guest presentation.
Third thursday of each month, so let’s see if we can make it grow. Contact me for coordinates.

How about an online video call/chat where people could just meet up informally and exchange tips and questions about XQuery, XSLT, and XML stuffs?
Maybe also some time to talk about education & outreach.
Anyone interested? I’m thinking maybe an hour to 90 minutes, with a small donation requested since i’m “between contracts” :)

Circle packing
There are up to two slots for circles for each parent circle, one on each side.
Pluck the next slot off the list. If there is room for a circle of the current size there, add it, and add the new slots to the list.
Continue until stack empties or max iterations. -

Just for say, BaseX 12.3 is out, et c’est de la bombe ! In particular, the new XPath syntax for JSON and InvisibleXML. So good. #xquery #json #invisibleXML #basex

Poisson disk sampling starting at a few seeds, with some bias in the search angles.
Connect parent and child points with graded colouring and size.
Then map the whole thing into a polygon (here a flattened knot) creating folds and stretches.
