Journal D+iz+a+n+k+Meister's Journal: Dreaming in computer 4
Don't you hate it when you dream "in computer"?
The other day, my girlfriend asked me about SVG, as in scalar vector graphics, and wanted to know what it was all about. Specifically, she wanted to know if SVG was some sort of "other" Flash type thing for the Web.
So I read all about it, well no ALL about it, but you know what I mean. So I told her that Flash basically was SVG for the web, and that SVG, in general, was a specification that one could build a program around to render other graphics, like chemical structures, etc.
Well, I was pissed off about scheduling issues at work. When I went to sleep after all that reading, I dreamed in XML. No plot, no events, just one XML file, that basically held all the data about what I was pissed off about.
I don't have vivid, memorable dreams very often, so I was quite disappointed with this one. Of all the possible things to dream about, I get an XML file. WTF??

But, since it's MY brain, I wish I could tell it to just give me a nice Corona commercial, maybe with some fun-loving, scantily clad, nubile, co-eds. Then maybe I would take the hint.
I do that too from time to time... (Score:1)
So what was in the XML file? do you remember?

You know what? I never even thought about trying to remember. I was so annoyed by the dream that I tried to forget it as soon as possible. Mostly because it had to do with my employer.
But now that you ask, it probably would have been a good idea to remember how to represent anger in XML. That probably would have been the most profitable dream I ever had
Interesting. .
