Religious Satire from The Brains Trust: The World Atheist Society (WAS) also cautioned members not to lump all theists into the same category as the religious extremists thought to be responsible for the attack.

I just got my rant on web services published on WebServices.org. this was a response to a Clay Shirky piece on xml.com. The gist of it is that common business semantics are indeed a major problem, but that doesn't mean that XML-RPC, Xmethods, WSDL, UDDI and so on do not solve other real world problems. Equally, the comparatively trivial implementations at xmethods (and xml-rpc) don't mean that real world solutions can't be built. And finally, yes, the hype produced by UDDI.org and slavishly re-printed by the analysts and commentators is unfortunate. On the fly integration probably is a pipe dream unless there's a large installed base of a de facto standard. But reducing app to app integration effort from months to hours *is* a huge advance.

The Times : Geri and the peacemakers or is that "It's Raining Men" in Oman. Yes the luvly Geri Halliwell (for it is her) is going to be entertaining our brave boys in an all star spectacular (shades of Playboy in the jungle from Apocalypse Now?). Of course the timing had to be put back because they'd much rather watch England FC play Greece in the world cup qualifier. "Operation Ginger" (good grief!) also includes Steps and, gasp, Bobby Davro. Don't they know there's a war on? I can't help thinking it would have been better to lay on the usual early saturday evening TV rubbish and they could all go "Sod this" and go down the pub for 10 pints of Lager followed by a Chicken Tikka Masala. Wasn't Geri the UN Goodwill Ambassador before Lara Croft?

The Times : Crackdown is for sake of freedom More minluv double think from our glorious Home Secretary, Blunkett. Yes, Control is Freedom! All Hail Big Brother. (and I don't mean the reality TV series).
