Every so often I get the urge to whip up something that I think would be fun to play with. Usually, I use a somewhat random technology to do it in.

XSLT

• At his job at Brampton Engineering, Dan Marantz was faced with updating the way the Technology department monitored its technology assets. His solution was The Probe, a tool to have all the computers upload operational data to a central server as an XML file. I wrote an XSLT transform to prettify the data.
