Another great piece from Steve. Try as I might though, I can’t find the “SOA side” of the argument 8-)

A nice RESTful API that doesn’t even self-describe as one (as it needn’t do, of course; it’s the Web)
-
“At some point some de facto standards must emerge also for REST to represent those most common artifacts like addressing […]”. Erm, ouch.

My position paper to the upcoming W3C workshop on an enterprise Web of services
-
“Admitting you were wrong and a willingness to change course is great example, and far too rare in today’s hard-liner “Stay-The-Course” world” +1. A breath of fresh air from the W3C.

Eric provides some more info on the upcoming W3C “Web of Services for the Enterprise” workshop. I hope to attend.

Wow. What a beautiful, inspiring story about one man’s (Scott Adams) principled design of a (possible) cure to his lost voice.

Message to a certain TAG member and WS-Transfer editor; it’s time to pick sides, my friend.

Go Ladies!

Fibre to Toronto and Montreal, but no Ottawa! Gah!

Heh, he said “MIME Typen”. I hope I’m not offending anyone by finding that cute 8-)
-
Heh, I love it; SOA as Beta 8-) P.S. Jeff, the VHS version came out 15 years ago, not 5. 5 years ago somebody tried to put video on 8-track 8-)

“Can the Web fulfill industry and business requirements?” Pretty much, yah.

“Also, there is no logout button. I plan to take care of both problems for new schemes in Mozilla.” God bless you, Rob Sayre.
-
“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-)

“And with more and more people suffering from WS-* protocol fatigue, that is very very welcome in my opinion.”
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.
When it rains, it pours as they say. My ISP and Bell don’t see eye to eye about a few things, one of them being the process the former has to follow to satisfy the latter when debugging my DSL line. Luckily, they were collectively able to determine that my DSL modem had met its maker, so I picked up a new one this afternoon, and voila, back online.
Prepare yourselves for a week’s worth of del.icio.us links tonight.
I’m also, give or take, back to my usual routine after the death of my father. Expect more writing from me in the coming months. In the meantime, I’m thrilled to be participating at the first ever W3C WG meeting on the African continent next week; the WebAPI WG is meeting at the W3C offices in Rabat, Morocco.

Tim doesn’t deserve this. His vision for the Web was far richer than what was deployed from 1991 to 2004. However, the W3C should be taking far more flack for poo-pooing Javascript’s importance.
-
Only 7% of SOA projects exceeded expectations. Main reason? “introduced more complexity into IT system”. No shit, Sherlock!

“Laugh and the world laughs with you, get killed by a benign piece of seafood and the world laughs too apparently” 8-)

“The fact is the most successful web services – since the beginnings of the web – were social software applications”
-
“It’s time for the Web browser community to stop using up its resources attacking specifications that we’re not interested in implementing”
Damn, if the W3C can’t get the browser based Web right, and is home to the core standards that make up WS-Deathstar, it makes one wonder if they’re really the organization best suited to “Lead the Web to its full potential”.
IMO, all of the problems mentioned at those links would vanish if only the W3C was made accountable to the public, rather than its members; or at least first to the public.
A new agenda item for the upcoming Advisory Board meeting perhaps?
So, how’s the Semantic Web coming along?
