I met this little girlie, her hair was kinda curly

I have been cranking out the code at pretty fantastic rates the past few days… I am trying to get our document list view buttoned up before I leave today… I am leaving at 5:30 to meet Chuck at South Station… He is coming up for the weekend, and I was hoping that I would have tomorrow off, but I don’t think things are coming together as well as I had hoped (ok, they were pretty unrealistic expectations), so I will probably have to come in for a little while.

XML-RPC is a decent protocol, but it definately has it’s flaws… It is doing the job, however… It is much easier to deal with, as well as more robust than our old proprietary protocol… The support in Java and Mozilla is good, but I am going to rewrite Mozilla’s XmlRpcClient component in C++…. It is currently implemented in JavaScript, including the XML parser! It was even doing Base64 encoding in JavaScript but I shit out a component to do that in C++… Man, what a mess… It was doing type checking and string addition every time it added a base64 value to the return string…. what a mess… It is totally fast now, and I got to reuse some of the Base64 code already in mozilla for MIME stuff, so I didn’t have to duplicate work….
