Artsy Screen of Death

Another reason to own a Mac is to avoid the dreaded Blue Screen of Death. When your laptop takes a moment for intense self-reflection, visible to us as total frozen meltdown (as Paul's Mac recently did), wouldn't you rather be soothed by a calming collage of semi-transparent textures and colors? Gorgeous! Almost makes you look forward to the next complete system failure!

Submission frenzy.

Following on the heels of the submissions from Microsoft, IBM, et. al. of WS-Transfer, WS-Eventing, and WS-Enumeration, the W3C has acknowledged the submission of the WSDL 1.1 Binding Extension for SOAP 1.2 and the SOAP 1.1 Binding for MTOM 1.0, which I co-authored and published last month. Are there more submissions in the works? Stay tuned!

The submission process accomplishes several goals:

Signals the author's intention that the specs are finished and stable.
Puts the specs under the W3C document license, to aid adoption and reuse of the specifications.
A tiny bit of the W3C brand equity rubs off on the specs since they now have www.w3.org urls.
Simplifies the politics of reusing of these specs in profiles.

For me, it's final confirmation that this project is complete. Satisfying!
