• XML Conference P2 #11 - Rich Salz

  We just saw a very different presentation from the rest. It was Rich Salz's "Determining what security your Web Services need." Rich clearly knew his audience (developers), and took us through a very Read More Rory | 0 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference P2 #10 - Sprinkler Repair Lady

  I just went outside to get some sun, and it was there that I met the Sprinkler Repair Lady. "What are you doing?" I asked. "I'm repairing this sprinkler," she replied. Most Read More posted Friday, July 11, 2003 11:05 PM by Rory | 0 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference P2 #9 - The wireless network is getting me into trouble...

  I didn't want to say anything bad about any of the presentations, but I just got lost by the current presenter. There are two people who have the floor - One who's doing all the talking, and his monkey (in Read More Rory | 2 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference P2 #8 - I'm with Dave on this, I think

  I think I'm in the same boat as Dave Winer right now. Read More posted Friday, July 11, 2003 10:36 PM by Rory | 0 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference P2 #7 - Tim Ewald

  Tim Ewald just ran over my brain with the XML truck. That guy can really, really talk. He also has the distinction of having the most interesting head of all of the presenters so far. Read More Rory | 0 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference P2 #6 - Lunch

  Lunch was uber interesting today. I saw Chris Sells and Brian Jepson sitting at a table, and made straight for it. Through their web sites and presentations, it's easy to get an idea of what interests these Read More posted Friday, July 11, 2003 7:36 PM by Rory | 0 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference P2 #5 - Steve Loughran

  Steve Loughran (HP Labs) just finished up. He strikes me as being a very intelligent human being. He's seems to be English, but it looks like his teeth were store-bought, which is kind of a neat thing. There's Read More Rory | 2 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• Joshua Hoover thinks that my dislike of Websphere == love of monopolies. Hello-o-o-o-o...

  It looks like Joshua Hoover didn't like what I said about Java application servers yesterday: You're right Rory.  I'd much rather have only one application server that is tightly integrated Read More posted Friday, July 11, 2003 6:04 PM by Rory | 7 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference P2 #4 - Jeff Barr continued...

  On account of Sam Ruby not having been able to make it, Jeff Barr's presentation has continued with an extensive Q&A. It's been very interesting. Whereas most of the presentations so far have been along Read More Rory | 0 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference P2 #3 - Jeff Barr

  The first presentation of the day was by Jeff Barr of Amazon. He was, as you might have guessed, going over the various web service offerings from Amazon. Pretty cool, gave me some good ideas that I'll probably Read More posted Friday, July 11, 2003 5:02 PM by Rory | 0 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference P2 #2 - Where to (eventually) get the nifty tools

  We've just been told by Ken Levy that the place to watch for XML tools (both in the present and in the future) is here. This is where some of the tools we just saw will pop up. This includes, eventually, Read More Rory | 1 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference P2 #1 - Just got here

  Looks like Grant Carpenter and The Technologist are both discussing Dave Winer's "Developers love complexity" quote from yesterday. It's a totally philosphical topic, and we're never going to come Read More posted Friday, July 11, 2003 3:54 PM by Rory | 0 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference - End of Day One

  At the end of the day, I think that my favorite three presenters were (in chronological order): Dave Winer Brian Jepsen Keith Ballinger Read More Rory | 3 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference #12 - Keith Ballinger

  Keith Ballinger just finished his presentation, and it was one of the best of the day (in my opinion). It was on "Messaging and Web Services," and was quite entertaining. He's a good speaker with a good Read More posted Friday, July 11, 2003 12:59 AM by Rory | 0 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd

• XML Conference #11 - The bathroom is empty - What's going on, everybody?

  I just left the bathroom, and it was almost toally empty. After my last bathroom post, I guess all the guys just decided to "hold it." Read More Rory | 1 Comments Filed Under: Enter the Nerd
