Rabbits, mountains, tweezers

UDDI woes

"The UDDI standard was initially misconceived, then neglected, and now it's on the verge of fragmenting into multiple implementations with limited interoperability." -- http://www.looselycoupled.com/blog/2003_08_17_lc.htm#106155119250588247.
A complex system that works invariably can be traced back to a simple system that worked. That is a law named after someone, I cannot remember who at the moment. Anyway, UDDI and a bunch of other Web Service "standards" are showing what happens if you ignore this law.
I'm a UDDI heretic by the way.

Medidations on testing and the sequiter (as in the opposite of "non sequiter":-) that leads to dynamic languages (oh, an XML as a catalyst.). Anyway, testing, testing, one two three, testing. An ITWorld article.
