I�m excited to announce that Mind Reading Markup Language (MRML or mur-muhl) has been released to theta testing as version 0.5!<idea>Kevin�s Code Craft site is great!</idea>
�
As many of my close friends know I have been tirelessly working on MRML for the past five years. <project emotion=�empathy� target=�Kevin�/>.�To create MRML I was first required to write my own language called LATE (Language for Amplifying Theta Emissions).� Although some of you who are familiar with LATE and MRML have suggested that it is easier to work in LATE than to use MRML, I felt it was important that the MRML specification be XML compliant. <idea>LATE is bad, XML and MRML are good</idea>
�
It is my hope that later versions of MRML can be written entirely in MRML and towards that goal I am working on the past tag.� The expected syntax will be <past change=�true� date=�2005/8/17 32:59">some change to the past</past>.� Using the past tag I believe I can remove LATE altogether.
�
Some people have asked about the practical usage of MRML.� Beyond its clear utility in conveying website information, it also provides an improved query capability.� For example, by adding this tag:� <get>desired content description</get> Google can be improved so that fewer queries are need.� Likewise, adding the <transfer target=�reader� source=�writer�>functional spec ideas</transfer> tag to a feature specification can greatly improve offshore development.� Sometime the <clarify>whatever I was meaning</clarify> tag may also be necessary. Finally,�the <do>what I mean</do> and <get>what I want</get> tags have proven extremely powerful in early trials.
�
Below is some example MRML for your reference.� I have made it active in the document to speed the learning process:
<belief strength=�maximum�>This is by far the best article I�ve ever read</belief>
<ignore>article faults</ignore>
<belief strength=�maximum�>I will send this article to all my friends, family and co-workers</belief>
<erase>sense of proper work etiquette regarding company email</erase>
<erase>sense of unease at being manipulated</erase>
<predict>Everyone will be reading Kevin�s blog.� It will be bigger than Slashdot</predict>
�
The last big advantage of MRML over other technologies is that completeness is not required.� If you use the doctype=�intent� you can leave out anything that you would have intended to include but didn�t get around to.�
�
The release is available on the Psychic Friends Network (psi.net).� There is also a brain-torrent feed.� If you have been selected to be a theta tester you already know it.� In fact you have known it for some time.�
