minor geeky work rant

[cupcake_goth]

Oh, so if I had followed my instincts and done all this search and replace work in Notepad instead of the fancy-pants GUI editing tool, I wouldn't be re-doing it all because said fancy-pants GUI editing tool turns typed < and > symbols into Unicode. Well fine then. I'll do all my XML editing in a plain text environment, as nature intended.

Gaaaah. Never trust the fancy-pants GUI editing tool, this is an important thing to remember.
