I haven’t posted much for a while but after 3 years as a Solution Architect I’m back to my old role designing and developing SOA Frameworks and Management Platforms. So you may be hearing a bit more from me in the future
Simon an architect I work with was talking to a developer this morning. The conversation went as so… Simon: Are you sure you want to use FTP to transfer this data I’m not sure it will be fast enough Developer: Well FTP is faster than TCPIP Simon (to himself): I have now entered the twilight zone...
We finally got an EJB Web Service today from a Trading Partner the interface looked something like this ... public Asset ReturnAsset(bool ReturnAsset) We surmised that due to cronic shortages of quality developers they have finally begun to teach chimpanzees Java, not bad for a chimp. Also liked this newsgroup thread Simon found yesterday...
I just noticed that in GeeksWithBlogs move to SubText some of my old screen shots have been lost, I'll fix these as soon as I get time

So having a wee breather before I'm off to Redmond to Microsoft’s BPI & Workflow Conference with some other integration folks from Synergy I'm really...
We attended a .Net User Group last night the .Net evangelist gave us quite an in depth overview of Web Service Extensions 2.0, 3.0, the history of WSI Web Service Interoperability Organisation (the guys who come up with the standards) and a sneak preview of Indigo. Indigo looked very cool, quite a nice vision by Microsoft 3 lines of declarative code to enable queuing, transactions and security i.e. COM+, MSMQ, WS extn’s rolled into one. Not to mention the x number of lines of configuration...
Bit of a belated welcome, my fellow members of the Microsoft Team from Synergy International Auckland NZ Branch rightfully gave me grief that I posted techy stuff before the traditional haere mai. Well hopefully in the next few months the three of us will find time to post useful articles to this Blog for you guys. This site's dedicated firstly to all those hardworking Microsoft bloggers had have provided us with so much help over the years all off their own back and secondly to my cat Tui Mia who...
