“The Team also plans to ask the Technical Architecture Group (TAG) to investigate the impact of this technology on the architecture of the Web” Time for some ass kicking!! 8-)

My friend and business partner, John Criswick, will be Canada’s first space tourist.

Of course it is.

What a strange article. Some great insight in places, but also some whoppers. In the end the conclusion is the predictable “SOA for complex apps, REST for simple ones”.

“I guess I hadn’t fully internalized the “distributed” in Distributed Version Control System [...]“. Perhaps “Decentralized” would be more accurate?

Nasty URLs, but they’ll soon discover the problems with them by using them themselves.

Africa, check
Filed in Uncategorized Leave a comment
I updated my list of visited countries, which finally shows some red on the African continent, in the Kingdom of Morocco.
The meeting was in Rabat, the capital city, and it was pleasant enough. A bit like Ottawa I suppose, in that it looked and felt like a “lite” version of a larger, neighbouring city (Casablanca/Toronto). It was surprisingly liberal for a muslim country … or at least what I imagined a muslim country to be, never having been to one. I wasn’t expecting tight fitting pants to outnumber burkas by a couple of orders of magnitude. 8-)
And what trip to Africa would be complete without gastrointestinal problems? Alas, not this one 8-(
I’ll be uploading images to my Flickr photostream soon.

Spammers 1, GMail 0
Filed in Uncategorized Leave a comment
When I first started using GMail 2 1/2 years ago, I used to get perhaps 1 or 2% spam. When I checked my email this morning, it was 85% spam (104 of 122).
Google hasn’t been keeping up with the spammers, so I should probably consider reinstituting my own de-spamming filter. What’s the state of the art nowadays?

*sigh* Wiki’s already have the equivalent of “GetPage” – it’s called HTTP GET on the page’s URI.

“If you plan on using V4 on or after October 1, you have two options”. More Google evolution problems. Why are they burdening their many users with implementation details?
