Objects in a distributed system
Thanks to Mike Champion, I found A note on Distributed Computing which resonates strongly with my own feelings about distributed computing. Namely, the word "distributed" needs to be taken seriously, you cannot and should not, try to design away the network. Embrace it, don't try to work against it, its stronger that you are :-)

Interesting mental chewing gum.
"The fact that the mind is formless means that it is unconstrained..it it is free from steps, loops, branches, strings, tables, stacks, queues, datastructures and all the other algorithmic constraints."
Hmmmn.

Interested in eGovernment?
A white paper on eGovernment architecture issues by my colleague at Propylon, Fergal Murray and I. My favourite line "only the data endures".
