I was lazily reading the Italian version of Scientific American, and I got on a very interesting article [ per noi italiani, il link è questo]: the point of the author was that computer and devices often interrupt us with events demanding our attention, regardless of the fact that we may be busy…
That’s how a colleague defined the weather last weekend in Seattle, and I loved the expression:-)It was lovely indeed. Seattle, Bellevue and Redmond are very, very nice places: and this comes from somebody who’s definitely spoiled in terms of outlooks (I was born and spent almost 30 years in Camogli, one of the…

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…
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. Elements at the header level are now called “header block” Example Message Exchange (s2.4): sequence explicit creation (2,3) and termination (11,12) are no longer…
