Metadata exposed
Steve Cook gathers in one post three of the “must read” references about metadata out there. Find the time to check them out if you didn’t already, they are a great way of framing the matter in the correct context.
ArtRage power
Sometime it’s only natural to sketch something senseless while following a presentation, having a phone call or similar activities. It’s not rare at all to see on paper trays in the neighborhood of a phone all sorts of spirals, patterns or smiley. Well, TabletPC and ArtRage can really bring this habit to new…
I have been xmlcoverpaged!!!
In an article about the new release of WS-ReliableMessaging on xml.coverpages.org, hosted by OASIS, among the references there’s a post of mine! And immediatly after the WS-RM specs page, so rank is not even that bad… Yeppa! 🙂
Referral spam?
It’s so à la Cambrian Era fashion. Nature seems to be trying all possible forms of survival, while the selection make sure that only the stable niches will be occupied (in fact, the stable niches will be defined by the process). What elicited this not-so-neat consideration of mine? A growing trend I’ve observed…
WS-ReliableMessaging 2005: what’s new
Scatter list of new or (IMHO) notable features of the 2005 version of WS-ReliableMessaging. Overall I’d say that it changed very little, promising symptom of maturity of the specification.

WS-RM Policy: sounds good
I sort of missed it when I first spotted that something moved in the WS-RM msdn home.Meet Web Services Reliable Messaging Policy Assertions, or WS-RM Policy: a pretty neat spinoff of the main WS-RM spec, where all the policy elements which survived up to the third revision are gathered.Oversummarizing everything boils down to…
Goldrake è Transazionale
Italian post. It would not make sense for somebody who’s not Italian and above thirty… Stasera, durante il viaggio di ritorno in treno, discorrevo amabilmente con alcuni clienti di serie televisive del passato e annedoti correlati. La mia famiglia è molto numerosa, quindi lo scheduling del televisore non poteva che essere prehempive: essere il…
Making sense of the TabletPC Accelerometer, round II
Ahh. The Sunday’s post about the little toy for playing with the accelerometer of certain tablet pcs had a notable success. Evviva! 🙂Few answers to common questions: I DON’T use any Accelerometer API. I’m not aware of any public ones, and that’s the only way I’d make use of them. I instead rely…
The evolving world of WS-*
