Ahaha! The Department of Computer Science are directly responsible for my having written some truly unhinged XML[0] and Oxford will be absolutely lovely in September.
unhinged XML? I think Microsoft might be interested in hiring you for their newly created MSO365 department...the department of XML obfuscation!!

So this website is hosted with IOMART, a cloud service provider with call-us pricing, and it stopped working because a few people clicked the link from here. That is really not impressive.

Feeling very nostalgic about getting interested in XML and XSLT circa 2000-2001 and all that Semantic Web stuff. Amazed to see that people were still taking it seriously nearly 10 years later https://www.flickr.com/groups/xmlsummerschool2010 and that they're still going! I hope they have a lovely time!
