Dr. Macro is blogging

This will be totally obscure to probably all but one of my eleven readers, but W. Eliot Kimber a/k/a "Dr. Macro" now has a blog: Dr. Macro's XML Rants (All tools suck Some tools suck less than others). I knew Dr. Macro at IBM and very meekly participated in the development of the IBMIdDoc SGML DTD waaaayyyyy back in the day which he shepherded along. I don't know that anyone actually used IBMIdDoc, I shifted to working on www.ibm.com before it was finished and kept hearing how it was blowing up various SGML parsers left and right. It was technically correct, just very complex.
I think the nickname Dr. Macro came about for his penchant for writing XEDIT macros, though they could have been BookMaster macros.
Update: Seem to be dropping c's today.

Obscure? Not to me. And although the words have changed, the music is still much the same.... :-)

By the way, I checked -- Eliot committed macros on both Script and XEDIT. And LPEX, too. (Or should that be LPEX/2?)
