Jim Webber joins the fray. Welcome, Jim. Subscribed (sorta – hurry up with the RSS and permalinks! 8-O )

One of his first entries is titled “Messages != Flattened Objects”, which is a topic very near and dear to my heart, and a frequent point of discussion between Jim and myself, both publically and privately.

The term “Flattened Object” is interesting. I hadn’t heard it before, though I do use “serialized” and “pickled” on occasion. This is what I call a “document”; a bag of bits REpresenting the STate of some object.
