Not a bad way to start off a new job. Last Friday was the Sigma Xi staff picnic, so I worked for a few hours, then went downstairs for food and meeting some of the other people who work there.

Today I spent more time going through the CNXML language specs and turorial available at the Connexions website. I am now in love with XML. After having gone through several tutorials on XML, CNXML, MathML, and QML, I have come up with a bunch of places I could use XML for my own apps. It’s kind of exciting.

I’m also working on the back-end database for the professional chemistry society Phi Lambda Upsilon. Another student at Elon, Jay Loden, has been working on building most of their brand new website, but hasn’t done database design and implementation, so I’m doing that for the site.
