Yes, I am a UDDI heretic

I'm not a believer in UDDI. If you are interested in why - see What business are you in? on ITworld.

The blogging twilight zone

Weirdness in blogger.com combined with weirdness in some apps I'm using producing funny (as in "odd") posts. Do not adjust your sets.

Come back Michael Jackson. All is forgiven

What goes around, comes around. Uche's article nicely explains the power of generators as a paradigm for XML processing. I remember many, many years ago working with JSP/JSD (Jackson Structured Programming) and Jackson System Design - both of them created by the Computer Scientist Michael Jackson. Both methods feature a paradigm known as "inversion" which essentially allowed you to add coroutines and generators to languages that didn't have them - to great effect. We used it (under the tutelage of Dave Croydon at Fiamass) very sucessfully from 8086 assembly language!

Ah, the years, the years,
Down the bitrotten silicon
the raindrops, plough.
