The meaning of SOA
I like this quote… One of my colleagues recently described Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) implementations very well: « It is about Saving Our Asses ». As you would… [Via [Technorati] Tag results for websphere OR esb OR soa]

Well, here, we go, the first spam post on my wiki happened this morning. A quick delete and it was fixed, but I wonder what I will do, should they become more prevalent. There’s always the option to close down access to anyone but me, but I’ll keep that as last resort.

Well, blogging from the sessions was a bad idea, and I never did do it. The reason? I remember better the material with a good o’le pen & paper. So, after having taken the notes, I rewrite these into a Notes journal entry, for safekeeping and action (where there needs to be). But here are…

Well, after the first day’s excitement, I had great plans and expectations for the 2nd day. I was looking at maps and was very (too) ambitious for the distance I’d cover.

I finally bit the bullet and decided today was gonna be the day that RFPtrack (my RFP tracking application, if the title doesn’t give it away) would be finished. Finalized. Done. Completed. Of course, you might say « Well, it was put into production already, how can it be not finished? ». Ahhhhh, that’s the…

I’ve made a few modifications today to fix some things that bugged me for a little while. First, I was looking for a way to change the ranking that showed on the sidebar, from the All Times High to what happened in the last 30 days. I’m using Alex King’s Popularity Contest plugin, and found…
