While Jim and I promoted the use of the event abstraction as a programming…

Messaging and events
He he he 🙂 I saw this post on messaging and events (via Jim) and I was amused. The chapter we wrote almost 1 1/2 years ago for a book on service-orientation (I think the book should be published soon) dealt with exactly this approach. In fact, in there we talked about the importance of…

One of the best days of skiing I’ve ever had. Beautiful day; sunny, blue sky, not that cold, no queues at the lifts at…

“Web” or “Grid” – Isn’t it ironic?
For a long time I’ve been saying that the Grid is nothing but an application domain of distributed computing and that it needs no new infrastructure.

Geometry Wars on Xbox 360
Wow, I am amazed! I can’t even score beyond 100,000 points in Geometry Wars when the game score leader has done 16,000,000!!! There is a video of his record setting game. Chris Anderson is already beyond 2,000,000! I have long way to go 🙂
