ATOM feed now available
by mithrandi on Jun.06, 2005
I now have an ATOM feed available. It’s a static file same as this XHTML document, but I generate it from the XHTML via XSLT. You can take a look at the transformation if you’re interested. I’m using the Saxon XSLT processor to do the processing. Let me know if you have any suggestions; I’m sure there’s room for improvement, but I think it’s good enough to put online already.

bloggingA dream once forgotten
by mithrandi on Jun.06, 2005
My mind, like a mirror, reflects the shadow
as death and darkness steal my countenance;
deeper and deeper into the whirlpool
my self is lost in the all of none.
The deathly swirl of blackest night
gives way to ghostly horrors of grey;
arrows of fate, arrows of fear,
arrows of pain, descend through my veins.
A piercing cry transfixes my soul,
and–rushing through my outward self–
it shatters that which once was formed,
and forms anew what never was.
With shadows surrounding I am reborn;
of loss, of fear, of pain, of flame;
from life destroyed, and life abhorred,
and fragments of dreams once lived.

A new beginning
by mithrandi on Jun.04, 2005
So, a new beginning. I’m writing this blog post in vim; as mentioned on the front page, I’m hand-crafting my blog content at the moment. As a result, I don’t have an ATOM feed anywhere, but stay tuned. Until there’s some real content around here, I doubt anyone cares anyway.
Some of you may have noticed that I’m borrowing fairly heavily from Tantek Çelik‘s blog here; I hope he doesn’t mind, but I liked the clean and semantically-rich layout of his site. I’ll likely tweak and twiddle things much more as time goes on, but for the moment, I’m quite happy with this layout.
Depending on when you read this, you’re probably not terribly impressed with the styling; I don’t have much CSS around at the moment, so things will not look terribly spiffy until I do some work on that.
