Speaking of translation though, if you've ever wondered what my wonderful husband does, or if, like me, you've tried to read his weblog and come up coughing with questions....I've found a couple simple definitions ....

Via Fragments from Floyd , I found XML and the Semantic Web from 10,000 Feet by Eric Hanson. It's a bit old, from May 2001, but I think that it explains a bit about XML and ways the Web works now and could work better in the future.

And last weekend, I got a good definition of Apache. We were at a party getting to know another couple. Ted was talking about what he does, and our acquaintance was trying to explain what Apache is to his wife:
"It's the best web server in the world. All my test machines run it."
I told Ted: "Now I have a good definition of Apache.: the best web server in the world!"
"Didn't you know that already?" he replied.
Well, yeah, but it's something else to hear someone else say it....
