DITA Specialization in DocBook?

Eliot Kimber and Norman Walsh apparently have discussed DITA, DocBook and specialization รก la DITA in DocBook. Norman Walsh wrote a blog entry on it, and Eliot Kimber commented it.

Very interesting reading, at least if you are a markup geek (which I am). I don't think they've changed my opinions on DITA, however, even though I'm thinking about it.

Mobile Sync, Part Three

After (unsuccessfully) banging my head against the wall trying to sync my Ubuntu 10.04 laptop with the Nokia N900, I resorted to the only solution I knew would work.

I wiped out Ubuntu and installed Debian GNU/Linux Sid in its place. Apart from spending a night recovering from a dodgy dist-upgrade, the laptop now works, syncing perfectly with the N900.

Me, I think there is something wrong with Ubuntu 10.04.
