You know you are taking the geeky road when you decide to use XSLT to process an XML file just to create a simple report for a co-worker. What’s the alternative? Excel would accept the same information and I would’ve been done in 5 minutes but it would not have been as cool!

It had been a while since I had used XSLT transformations to parse an XML file so it was a good experience to stay in touch with the technology. Since I was doing some scripting with the xsl file, I even learned a couple of things I had not seen before, so it was a good learning experience without consuming too much time.
