MIX time
Next week I’ll be at Mix. If you want to discuss about WS-*, Infocard, WinFx or any of the crazy things I write here come to find me! As the picture on the left shows, I’m sure you will not have problems to recognize my hairy figure [:)]
Peer Authentication
The p2p capabilities in Vista and WCF are going to have a HUGE impact. The chance of leveraging physical proximity for setting up spontaneous meshes is truly mind boggling: imagine what you could do by walking in a crowded waiting room, on a train, in a hotel lobby, at Starbucks… even when you’re…
Video: The WCF Interop Plug-Fest
I’m on a crazy schedule on a trip in Asia, but this deservers stopping few minutes a blogging about it 🙂 Some weeks ago I had Kirill and Jorgen in my office for talking about the WCF Interop Plug-Fest: me and Marc took them by surprise, by pulling out a videocam and recording…
Claim based elevator
I was going around the hotel before dawn, searching for food (damn jet lag)… and I’ve noticed that the hotel elevator is claim based! If you swipe your room key on the switchboard, it brings you to to you floor: and before you dismiss it as the ultimate laziness enabler, consider that here…
Blogging from more that 10.000 mt of altitude, at 729 Km/h
Well guys, it’s done. The last sanctuary of the always connected is gone. I’m happily flying from the US to Europe IN THIS VERY MOMENT, and I’m using a WiFi connection that works like a charm. I can chat with anyone. I can keep an eye on my inbox, before it gets hopelessly…
Webcast on Infocard and Financial Services
Hello all! BillG mentions Infocard during the RSA conference, and suddenly this technology experience the surge of interest and coverage it deserves. I’m delighted! [:)] I’m going to give my humble contribution to that: tomorrow I’m going to keep a webcast about how the Identity Metasystem can solve some pain and create new…
When grid is effective: narrow pipes, huge skulls
It’s like Jim says: “The ideal mobile task is stateless (needs no database or database access), has a tiny network input and output, and has huge computational demand“. That’s why SETI@home was such a good idea. However, I believe that the new NASA stunt is even more interesting. Check it out here, but…
Blogs can townitize!
See, my home town is a wonderful small place on the north coast; in t he summer it’s impossible to find parking, and there’s an incredible mess of turists, however in the wintertime the population is around just 5000 souls. In that environment you grow knowing and being known by everybody (especially if…
How Infocard prevents phishing, in practice
I recently had a hot debate about how Infocard prevents phising; now everytime I see the “What’s in your wallet?” commercial the arguments come back in mind, so I guess the only way to break free from them is going again through it. So here it’s how it goes [:)] Disclaimer: for extensive coverage of Infocard and the Identity Metasystem,…
WS-Plate
Ahhh, finally. Getting a personalized plate was one of the things I was looking for when I relocated to the States.. and in record time, I got one which pays homage to one of my biggest passions! [:)]
