major stumbling blok though. the klient neither renders html by default nor provides for an option to do so. kummon growUp. most of the eMails i reccieve are html based. at first i thought this was a flash problem. mabbe html rendering was a no-no as that would require flash to replikate part of wht the browser also does. but a <a

Trying to mash together data? Building supply chains? There is generally no need to ever ask anyone to stand up a new web service. Pull everything you need via its RSS feed. Some software developers will disagree with this and say there are better methods, but to this I point out: 1) RSS is robust enough that it's all you'll ever need nine times out of ten and 2) it's what you're going to offered automatically anyway, take it and get something done.<br /><br />RSS creates the Web 2.0 information ecosystem by enabling interconnectedness, network effects, emergent behavior, and much more as well. And RSS doesn't demand control of the other end of the conversation. This is a big enabler all by itself and is a classic Web 2.0 force. By letting consumers of RSS use any tool or service they want on their side, barriers are eliminated and connectivity is encouraged.</blockquote><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">i think </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://web2.wsj2.com/rss_is_the_web_20_pipe.htm">this</a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> is stretchin RSS a lil bit too much. btw, a </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://blog.del.icio.us/blog/2005/11/there_has_been_.html">del.icio.us survey on what is web 2.0</a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> based on </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://del.icio.us/tag/web2.0">del.icio.us/tag/web2.0</a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> RSS fares pretty low at 2.5%</span>zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11692418170943783364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163553.post-1131447449651298792005-11-08T02:54:00.000-08:002005-11-13T20:33:07.696-08:00the SOA triangulation<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">though i have read abundant marterial on webServices this kame as a first for me. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><blockquote> about a triangular relationship - producer, consumer and directory.</blockquote></span><br /> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">now, how kum i dint think of it that way?</span>zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11692418170943783364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163553.post-1131282111864098582005-11-06T05:00:00.000-08:002005-11-12T12:36:08.386-08:00Why RoR ???<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8055/377/1600/55632873_4c0eba44ec.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

we are engineers, not scientists, and therefore should attempt solutions that will solve real user problems</li> <li>a professional programmer has a dedication to the end-user experience; most computer applications built these days are Web applications built by small teams and hence it is now possible for an individual programmer to ensure that end users aren't confused or frustrated (in the case of a programmer working on a tool for other programmers, the goal is defined to be "dedication to ease of use by the recipient programmer")</li> <li>a professional programmer does high quality work; we preserve the dedication to good system design, maintainability, and documentation, that constituted pride of craftsmanship</li> <li>a professional programmer innovates; information systems are not good enough, the users are entitled to better, and it is our job to build better systems</li> <li>a professional programmer teaches by example; open-source is the one true path for a professional software engineer</li> <li>a professional programmer teaches by documentation; writing is hard but the best software documentation has always been written by programmers who were willing to make an extra effort</li> <li>a professional programmer teaches face-to-face; we've not found a substitute for face-to-face interaction so a software engineering professional should teach fellow workers via code review, teach short overview lectures to large audiences, and help teach multi-week courses</li> </ul>zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11692418170943783364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163553.post-1127022160495495722005-09-17T22:40:00.000-07:002005-09-17T22:42:40.503-07:00pluck<a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://pluck.com">pluk</a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">`s far better than </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://bloglines.com">bloglines</a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> but too slow for me to migrate just because of the better features. da bloglines plumber`s still my pal</span>zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11692418170943783364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163553.post-1126088800306183872005-09-07T03:18:00.000-07:002005-09-07T03:26:40.313-07:00did ya Know - SexualRevolution<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">right, yew dint.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">chek out all </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://futurewire.blogspot.com/2005/09/online-dating-as-third-sexual.html">3 sex revolutions</a>zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11692418170943783364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163553.post-1125832548612273732005-09-04T02:57:00.000-07:002005-09-04T04:15:48.626-07:00Fear of Kode<a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.journalhome.com/codecraft/">To sumaarize</a><br /> <ul style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> <li>Fear of BlakHoles</li> <li>Fear of Dark</li> <li>Fear of Krime</li> <li>Fear of gettin Wet</li> </ul>zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11692418170943783364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163553.post-1125302815695912312005-08-29T00:55:00.000-07:002005-08-29T01:06:55.703-07:00J vs R<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">theres an intresting thread (not exaktly thread, but just some klaim-resp-resp kindoff posts) on the issue of RoR being a disruptive tek n whether it is aktually eorth while for fellow developers to leave java n try something as recent n immature as RoR.</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">in Order</span><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.servlets.com/blog/archives/000068.html">The Innovator's Dilemma: It's Happening to Java</a><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://lesscode.org/2005/08/22/history-repeats-itself/">History repeats itself</a><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.sateh.com/blog/2005/08/ror_tunnel_vision.php">RoR Tunnel Vision</a><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://lesscode.org/2005/08/28/java-tunnel-vision/">Java Tunnel Vision</a>zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11692418170943783364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163553.post-1125297893200364452005-08-28T23:42:00.000-07:002005-08-28T23:44:53.206-07:00Huh??<blockquote style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Google prefers to build rather than buy</blockquote><br /> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">where did </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="Google%20prefers%20to%20build%20rather%20than%20buy">that</a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> kum frm??? after all they bought??</span>zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11692418170943783364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163553.post-1125295742733242132005-08-28T23:05:00.000-07:002005-08-28T23:09:02.740-07:00Freedom Languages<a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.journalhome.com/codecraft/9003/">Freedom Languages</a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">. reminds me of the koncept of <span style="font-weight: bold;">freeWill</span> that i keep bringin into my arguments/ diskussions with others to tilt the weights on my side</span>zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11692418170943783364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163553.post-1124947395812419322005-08-24T22:21:00.000-07:002005-08-24T22:23:15.816-07:00WS & SOA summarized<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8055/377/1600/WS%26SOA.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8055/377/400/WS%26SOA.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11692418170943783364noreply@blogger.com1
