Dave writes The presence services are available in .NET. For Radio to tap into those services we have to create a connection, to learn how to call services in .NET from our environment.  It has been 17 months since I wrote it, and I haven't tested it recently to see if it still works, but the code to allow PHP to call any method on any object in .Net directly and in process is here.  It uses the COM interop feature of DotNet.

Simon Fell wonders how they're going to handle notifications without the DIME/TCP goo.  You might find the answer here.  Hint: look at the introduction to section 7 then go into section 7.4.  Oh, and section 6 may be of interest to SCNS fans.

Simon Fell wrote This is so far ahead of getCurrrentTemperature and the average use of SOAP today, and the obvious response is going to be look at all the unneeded complexity, but its seems to me that you can't get away with much less, given the requirements.  I think that if you showed somebody ten years ago the IP packets which represent the request and response to a typical HTTP request, they would recoil in terror.  Now it is a basic building block.  As Dave would say, that's how bootstrapping works.

P.S.  The current specs say that DIME is optional.

Simon Fell wrote: Hey Sam, i sent you some code for the 2B & 2C interop tests, let me know if you got it or not.  Yup, got it.  But I have been a little, er, distracted today.  In any case, I can't begin to express how much I appreciate you contributing to Axis, and working to ensure that interop with 4s4c is 100%.

My recommendation: don't be shy.  Post these inputs directly to axis-dev.  We have a policy where contribution is always recognized.  We also have a word for people who give frequent and valuable contributions to a subproject like yourself: committers.  There really is no need for people like you to have to work through me.

Dave wants to bootstrap into .Net?  I'd recommend the following as a place to start reading.  Note the use of SOAP headers, GUIDs, and attributes on elements (a dead giveaway that document style processing is intended).  I'm pleased to see that Ken Hagler is able to make the conceptual leap from "all the gibberish on that service information page into a SCNS call" when faced with a simple request, but if you want my two cents, this won't scale to more complex requests.  My two cents on what that the next inch or the next cable to hoist in the bootstrap can still be found here.  That doesn't get you all the way, but does take you in the right direction.  Baby steps.

Theme is back.

Testing... Testing...  Had a blowout.  I have a theory that any software installed on Windows has a half life, and installing upgrades reduces that half life exponentially.  The good news is that (1) the total time it took to track down the person at UserLand on a Saturday morning who could provide me complete, accurate, and up to date information on recovering my data: 63 minutes.  And (2) I seem to have no data loss except for minor preferences.  I'm having some minor difficulty with my customized theme (complains that imageref doesn't support a width attribute?), but I'm confident that I can work through that.

DiveIntoMarkClever hack of the day: in my referer listings, hover over the URL of any Radio weblog to see the name of the Radio user. Magic.  Cool!

For some reason, my gifs on this weblog were no longer being found.  Don't know what could have caused this.  Went into "H:\Program Files\Radio UserLand\www\images".  Typed "touch *".  Problem solved for now.

Searching the net, I've found a bunch of homographs of myself.  I am not the samruby who is obsessed with SpiderMan.  And somehow his faq entry which states that ...Sam is my nutcase Doberman Pincher & Ruby is my lazy Borzoi (Russian Wolfhound)... does not make me feel any better about "my" domain name not being available.  Nor am I this Sam Ruby.  Or this Sam Ruby.  Or this Sam Ruby.  Or this Sam Ruby.

I am not related to Jack Ruby, but he did have a brother named Sam.  Though apparently Jack and Sam were never close to one another.

When I create a user id, I typically pick rubys.  That domain is also taken.  Cute gif though.  I've never eaten there, but I have seen them in airports on the west coast.  I once took a small stack of comment cards.  Ruby's commitment to you is our commitment to quality in our food and in our service.  Please let us know how we are doing.  Then it has a section where you can rank any of the following categories as exceeded expectation, met expectation, or below expectation: friendliness, cleanliness, service, food & beverage, and value.  It closes with Your opinion is important to us.

I guess if someone has to have "my" domain name, I'd rather it be the clean restaurant I saw in LAX than the guy who named my^h^hhis site after his dogs.
