WS-I BP 1.1- August 24, 2004 The WS-I Basic Profile 1.1 appears to be out. Although their front page doesn't seem to say it. Changes from 1.0http://envoisolutions.com/people/dan/archives/000060.html Mozilla Web Services- August 21, 2004 Mark points to some really cool web service stuff in mozilla which I had no idea existed. Check out the links at the bottom of the mozilla page. Highlight something, click on them, and get an instant translation. Nice. There is also a page showing Amazon web services in the browser.http://envoisolutions.com/people/dan/archives/000059.html del.icio.us- August 17, 2004 At first I thought it was stupid. Then I thought it seemed blatantly spam prone. Now I realize how del.icio.us it is (couldn't resist the pun. sorry). It's like bookmarks but better. It seems to fill in the gap between noticing something and blogging about it. Like a link-blog, but not as annoying. Now if only I could make everything aware of it, it would be 10 times as useful. Update: Creative use 1 - marking all those words in my Borges book which I don't know and should revisit at..http://envoisolutions.com/people/dan/archives/000056.html Manifestos- August 16, 2004 A website for manifestos Yes, the internet now has everything. See ChangeThis to find manifestos which suit you. Including one on how Coke will kill you (and your children). If only they had an RSS feed instead of a newsletter....

As he notes at the bottom, don't take this too seriously). One commenter notes that this is important because: You can reuse existing frameworks, and leverage the python executables later from C. My question is, how many people actually leverage other frameworks, libraries, executables from other..http://envoisolutions.com/people/dan/archives/000053.html Managing Change- August 4, 2004 Jon Udell presents Tiemann's arguments on why Redhat and Fedora are the way they are. It seems that they've basically bought into the development (Fedora)stable branch model. - like many other software projects. Because: change is hard. Especially for extensive investments in a particular systemsoftware. But change has benefits. In the instance of SELinux in the talk, the benefits outweight the struggle (according to Tiemann). Manging change is to me one of the larger issues is...http://envoisolutions.com/people/dan/archives/000052.html Google Groups and RSS- August 3, 2004 I was searching through bloglines for logistics blogs. I looked at the subscribers to one and noticed that they had subscribed to an RSS feed for newsgroups. Sure, enough, you can subscribe to your favorite usenet newsgroups via Google Groups. For instance, the Compact Framework newsgroup. You just need to append "feedmsgs.xml" to the URL. Cool.http://envoisolutions.com/people/dan/archives/000050.html |
