Talk about timing? I was just wondering where MS was going (in relation to the RSS/Syndication toolkit/platform/market) and whether they would be building a “platform” (aka a toolkit) and when (i.e. sooner the better in my view, aka NOW!!)…….

and then …..

I see that Niall Kennedy is to leave MS?

No comment, just walking away from the keyboard and silently shaking my head. I honestly thought that MS was starting to get it? Perhaps in 18–24 months or so!!! when the world has changed again? any remember SOAP?

<jesturing and waving hands at MS>

All I want is a “Web2.0 toolkit” folks? Not a “platform”!! I’m not alone and we have needs! and we want them now!!

</jesturing and waving hands at MS>

ps

btw, I know about the WCF RSS toolkit, but thats falls very short of the mark in my view! (Sorry to the folks involved)

Old news I know, but I just had to comment on Google moving into the Adult search arena.

Maybe its just me, being a ex-Web1.0’er, but for me it again shows how the money is where the base instincts lie. One of the biggest drivers of Web tech stacks is the porn industry after all!! and Sex sells!!

Maybe this marks the birth of Porn 2.0

Just found Digipede, which I believe is the first Grid computing fx developed in .NET for the Windows platform. [update, see correction below]

Cool stuff! Something new to have a play with.

 [update]

It makes one wonder when you hear that WinFS is to fade into non-existence? 2+ years of mud slinging about the delays with Vista and Longhorn in general, and then the announcement comes that one of the big ticket items that has been lagging for ages is now no longer going to ship as a seperate product!

I especially found the news to be extremely interesting as they were talking about the upcoming release of WinFS Beta 2 at TechEd at few weeks ago? huh?

.NET Framework 3.0 - June 2006 CTP has just been released, which also includes a RC for Windows Workflow Foundation.

Also, its seems while it's not a final WCF RC1 build it does incorporate all the final programming model tweaks that have been planned since/post Beta2.
