Sanjiva’s post reminded me how amazing our current technology is.  I’m sure he’d appreciate this great clip of Louis CK on Conan.  My iPhone 3G (Google Maps & Pandora while speeding down the freeway?!) is a source of ongoing amazement to me.

Today a minor release of the WSO2 Mashup Server went out.  Nothing dramatic, but a few nasty bugs have been fixed and annoyances addressed, including:

1. A memory leak that some of us experienced when running periodic page scrapes over a long period.
2. Case insensitive searching.
3. An “ignoreUncited” annotation to allow the HTTP binding to POST parameters in the body instead of as URI parameters – which have a 2K limit in IE, and limits in other browsers as well.
4. Recent Activity queries on a specific mashup now work – a typeahead helps you identify the mashup you want to track.
5. Feeds and getXML now support basic authentication.

This clears the way for the larger project – bringing mashup capability into the WSO2 Carbon platform.

Enjoy!

For some reason I chose to watch an episode of the old BBC Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy on Netflix last night.  The parallel between the Guide and Wikipedia was striking.  Have a question?  Look it up in the [Guide/Wikipedia].  Foolproof?  No.  Useful?  Take a look at this before you answer – seems to guarantee a practical best-seller to me!
