MSN Spaces
I like this. The customisation options are really cool. My space is at http://spaces.msn.com/members/savas/. My concerns are: My current blog already has permanent links that I don’t want to loose. I don’t have complete control of my space. I am not sure whether I will be charged in the future for the service. I can…

RDF to filter WS-Eventing notifications?
This is an interesting proposal. As Stefan (needs to sort out main page) says, WS-Eventing allows the use of any dialect for filters, so why not RDF? (Disappointed that my implementation efforts are not listed 🙂 (just joking of course).

I find myself agreeing with Steve on this
In addition to defining addressing-related information headers for SOAP messages, WS-Addressing introduces the concept of an EndpointReference (EPR) which is used as the means of capturing the addressing-related information of a service endpoint. I don’t see why an EPR couldn’t be of the form: <wsa:ReplyTo> <!- Protocol-specific addresses -> <wsa:Address>http://service.com/myservice</wsa:Address> <wsa:Address>corba:bla-bla-bla</wsa:Address> <wsa:Address>tcp-ip:123.123.123.123</wsa:Address> <!- And a…

Globus to become part of Apache?
I saw this submission/proposal by Globus over at aparche.org. The Globus Alliance is proposing the creation of an Apache subproject for Grid computing with the Globus Toolkit as the basis. My first feeling was that this could be a good development for the Grid community but then I thought about the issue of standards and…

Making WinFX work on a non-Luna themes
In one of the WinFX CTP articles it is noted that only the Luna/NormalColor theme is supported. In order to work with the other WindowsXP themes, there is a workaround. I just discovered that this workaround works with different themes too. On my laptop I have the Royale theme installed (yes, I know it’s only…

Dave Orchard on Web Services vs Distributed Objects
I disagree with Dave‘s conclusions in his discussion on Web Services vs Distributed Objects.
