I've just moved to saxon from libxml for some XSLT stuff I'm doing, and I'm really loving it.
Not only does saxon run take much less memory, it also speaks XSLT 2.0.

moving back to google reader from bloglines
A couple of months ago I migrated to bloglines from google reader, not because I was necessarily unhappy with google reader, but because I was interested in seeing what else was available and how it might differ. I've just moved back to google reader.
OMPL just worked. I was able to move my RSS "reading list" from google reader to bloglines and back again with no fuss, no hassle and no duplication.
The advantages of google reader over bloglines are:
The fact that I have several google accounts and and only one of them is tied to my RSS reading means that there are tasks I can't multi-task between, even at the coarsest of levels and also means that contacts from the google account almost never get forwarded articles I discover via RSS.
The fact that my blogger.com account and my google reader accounts magically know about each other is great, as is being able to sign in once to a whole suite of tools.
In the end the reason for changing back was ordering. I read too many RSS feeds that cover the same topic for reading them out of order to make sense.
I've also just culled some of my RSS feeds, with the a prime criterion being the quality of their RSS. A number of web comics require one to click a link to read the strip and I no longer read them, but I still read Unshelved, which has the strip (and an ad) in the RSS.

The advantages of google reader over bloglines are:
- AJAX - whereas bloglines marks all items on a page as read when you browse to it, google reader marks them as read when you scroll past them.
- Ordering - google entwines items from all feeds in time order, bloglines presents items feed by feed
- Better integration with other services
- Fast scanning of voluminous feeds
- Fast browsing (it seems _much_ faster when there are thousands of items)
- Less integration with other services

Decent editor for blogger.com?
Can someone recommend a decent replacement for the default editor for blogger.com?

KDE/Gnome Māori localisation on the rocks?
It looks like Maori localisation has been removed from the KDE 4.0 repository:

Things don't look good for the upcoming 4.* releases, with the stats for translation at 0%: http://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kde4/team/
Gnome Māori localisation is not much better: stable at 1%: http://l10n.gnome.org/teams/mi
In the medium/long term there is hope that much of this localisation can be bootstrapped by application-centric localisation that appears to be thriving, particularly with respect to firefox, thunderbird and OOo.
