  • Discussion on WS-Addressing vs WS-MD

    There is an interesting exchange of comments over on Jim‘s blog under his “If there’s one thing better than an addressing spec…” post. Looking for comments on Jim’s blog reminded me that I really need to implement RSS feeds for comments for pblog.

  • An attempt to move on from “processThis”

    The “processThis” idea that Jim and I have been discussing for some time now has won us a place in Mark Baker‘s progress highlights for Web Services. Like Jim, I too am flattered.

  • Too many trackbacks while testing 🙁

    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.
