It was not until I started applying to various organizations, each with their own online process, that I realized simple text/html would be the most flexible solution. Documents are usually just scanned for keywords/text anyhow. It also made more sense for integrating with the web. Funny how it occurred to me after I had spent the time (I had planned an xhtml version down the road but should have started with it.)

Either out of laziness or experimentation I exported my opendocument to html. At first glance all seemed to render well. I decided the sooner I had something up the better so I posted it. Then I looked closer at the code. I’ve feared auto-generated html for some time and this reminded me why. Some of the extra cruft might just have been for openoffice but I wanted a clean xhtml copy. The stuff to fiddle with never ends. I need a job. I’m bright and hard working.

Another thought: I have lost track of all the ways in which I can integrate the popular social networking sites into my personal site. The best solution (without some sort of obvious quirk) is being thunk out…
