• First steps towards interoperability of WS-Eventing implementations

    John run few tests yesterday trying to consume the WS-Eventing service I deployed yesterday. It was fun. We did discover some problems with our implementations that have now been fixed but we still need to run more tests. John has a post with his consumer code that worked against my deployed service. Cool stuff.

  • WS-Eventing implementation deployed!

So, last week while travelling in Germany and Italy for work, I found some time to finish the WS-Eventing implementation to which I referred in previous posts (post1, post2).

This is the abstract of his ARC402 talk: Services provide a formal boundary of computing. Inside a service we typically find data that is needed for the operation of the…

    After my previous post about WS-Eventing I was contacted by John Bristowe (subscribed) who told me about his Gotdotnet project, called “Plumbwork Orange”, “…a workspace dedicated to bringing some WS-* implementations into the WSE fold.” as John explains in this post. I have joined the project and hope to dedicate some time to helping with…

  • Just as I started recovering from my jetlag…

    … I am off travelling again so posts may be infrequent for the next 10 days. Tomorrow I am off to Heidelberg, Germany, for Sun’s HPC Consortium meeting where I am giving an invited talk. I’ve been to Heidelberg twice before; a fantastic city. After Germany I am off to Sardegna, Italy, for just one…

  • Geek jokes

    Computer jokes thread (link from this post from Chris Sell’s blog). And there are some more here. Like Chris, I particularly liked this one. Two strings walk into a bar. The first one says, “Bartender! Bartender! I want a drink!” The second one says, “Bartender! Bartender! I want a drink too! blaaaaaaaaah Eeeeeeeek yaaaaaaak oooooooh.”…
