Dear Log,
«Mr Chirac says talk of independence in Taiwan is "irresponsible". And he is pushing for the EU's post-Tiananmen embargo on arms sales to be lifted. That raises the extraordinary prospect of the US arming Taiwan while the EU arms China.»Hey heeey, why all the fightin'? Why can't everybody sell death-rays to both histrionic lunatic governments? Maybe give everyone some good homestyle bioweapons too. And why keep North Korea out of the fun too?
Next step: profit! Or a billion dead in East Asia, whichever. (Note to self: be careful with ententes cordiales. Sometimes those don't work out so well.)
In other news: I'm trying to work myself out of the mire that is the current version of the XML::RSS::Timing* modules. I keep vacillating between Scylla ("I'm better off just throw out all the old code and start over") and Charybdis ("I think I can just change one line in the old code and it'll do what I need"). I'm trying to work instead on tests for what I want, before I do anything implementationally.

That's just crazy talk!
