I just realised that my trackback engine works on my test installation but not on the live one :-( Don’t know why this is but I am afraid I don’t have time to fix it now. I am off to Cuba tomorrow for 10 days of holidays (hurray :-). I …
/**/ Mark requests for clarification on my coupling argument between resource identity, the assumed representation (state), and the REST verbs in the “On the REST verbs vs “processThis” discussion” post. As always he makes a nice argument and thinks that an example would help. So, I’ll give it a go… …
I am going to be giving one of the main talks during the first day of this event (24-27 May) in London. If you are planning to go, let me know since I have registration forms that will give you a discount.
I’ve implemented full support for trackbacks in the pblog engine. However, due to a mistake while I was testing I may have sent few extra trackback notifications to some of the referenced posts from my existing entries. Those extra trackbacks were sent 3 days ago. My sincere apologies.
/**/ This is from the announcement of a studentship for the UK all-hands meeting 2004 in which I am involved. The UK e-Science Programme All Hands Meeting is the flagship meeting for dissemination within the UK of its e-science activities. Last year’s meeting attracted over 450 attendees with demonstrations from …
/**/ I just found the “Application Conceptual View” collection of documents on the Microsoft site. I think that everyone in the Grid community should read the introduction. Here’s how a service is described: “Software services are discrete units of application logic that expose message-based interfaces suitable for access across a …
/**/ Since I returned from my unplanned 5 days of holiday, I am only now catching up with my blog feeds. Jim wrote (“REST Advocates in Hit-and-Run Guerrilla Insurgency” and “Bill de h’ra Upbeat, Mark Baker Upbeat, I’m Upbeat?”) about our idea of treating services as entities that only support …
This post by Dare Obasanjo makes an interesting read.
/**/ And the discussion continues. Following from Ted’s blog entry, Steve Vinoskireplies. Also, following from Sean’s “In a Swiss army knife, sometimes all you see is the knife” entry, Don Box gives his view in his “WSDL ?= IDL” post. Also, Steve Loughran wonders whether “WSDL+CORBA=WSRF?”. I agree with Steve’s …
/**/ When Jim and I started writing the “Why WSDL is not yet another object IDL” article back in November (submitted for publication in December 2003), we had no idea of the reaction it would cause. People with large history in distributed computing and in-depth knowledge of CORBA have criticized …
I spent some time today playing with the pblog SQL Server database schema because I have some new features in mind I want to introduce in the future. One of the things I changed was the use of primary keys in the tables. At first it seemed like a very …
It was going to happen sometime! A spam comment on one of my posts and I still haven’t released the trackback enabled version of the pblog engine.
…Jim :-) because he finally got a proper feed.
I decided to take a break away from my computer after a long time. Didn’t touch the thing for 5 days. Went to Paris with my girlfriend and had a brilliant time. Now I am in a hotel in Amsterdam because I managed to mess up with our flights and …
/**/ Totally agree with David Orchard’s comments in his “IDL is as IDL does” entry, which refers to our “Why WSDL Is Not Yet Another Object IDL” article. As I said in my reply to Mark Little’s comment, Jim and I are talking about the use of IDL in object-oriented …
I had to read this post a number of times to make sure that there wasn’t something I missed since I find myself agreeing with Mark :-) (just joking Mark… we’ve agreed before, I think :-). A WSDL document will not tell you anything about the semantics of an “operation”. …
