Sam: "I was just elected to the Apache Board of Directors.". Congratulations! A well deserved honor, imho....

I've been looking into improving my blogging system, but I certainly don't want to go all the way up to Radio (I really don't need it, nor do I like it's publishing system... but hey, that's just me!). After seeing Charles Cook looking into Movable Type, I decided to give...

However, Simon's answer poses another question: Why is SOAP the format/protocol to use with these kinds of transports? I...

Simon, in response to a question by John Udell regarding SOAP Routing, says: It doesn't preclude it, but SOAP routing gets more interesting when you take HTTP out of the picture and look at other transports.. </p> Being a courious mind and all that, I ask: What other transports? I'd...
