Wikipedia Discussion while Visiting W3C
Wikimania is this weekend and by chance I happened to meet Joseph Reagle on the way back from lunch yesterday with Philippe LeHegaret and Steve Bratt. Joseph used to work at W3C with Steve and Philippe and they were kind enough to introduce me. On th
Milan
I started this entry in Milan and worked on it in Nice but I didn't finish and now I am actually in Rome...so I am not keeping up with this very well I'm afraid ;-) One more stop after this - Edinburgh on Saturday. Anyway, I was in Milan on Monday to
Nice
Today I'm in Nice at the TeleManagement World (TMW). I used to attend these events 10-12 years ago, when I was at Digital. Some things haven't changed - Keith Willets is still talking about the importance of back office standards in the context of te
Rome

WS-TX Meeting

Messaging standards
One of the big missing pieces in middleware standards is a wire format for messaging. David Chappell posted a good write up of this problem on his blog. The industry has spent a lot of time working on interoperable wire formats for RPC. One could arg
Chicago Piano
A couple of weeks ago I was in Chicago for the Eclipse Board meeting. Afterward i went with one of my friends to see Barrelhouse Chuck "and friends" at Rosa's Lounge. It was great. Rosa herself was behind the bar, and Barrelhouse's friends included P
New Book Review
Gunnar Peterson posted a review of the SOA book I wrote with Greg Lomow, and also put it on the book's Amazon page. Thanks, Gunnar! I hear from many people privately about the book, and that's always great, of course, but I really appreciate it when
