I disconnected the SimonFell and Jon Udell feeds from my Multi-Author Weblog.  They had been wired up to publish into my "Aggregated Weblog" category.  I did it as an experiment to simulate a variety of my own "authors" contributing to a category that I controlled.  After many days, its clear that it works reasonably well.  I wish that links back to the original weblog were published, as well.  Well, it is what it is. 10:44:15 AM

Microsoft changed the pricing for .NET Alerts. Now you don’t need the initial $15,000 fee, just pay $0.075/user/month. I’d easily pay a dollar a month for such a service. Anyone want my money? [matt.griffith] read the small print, you have to have a Passport license to be able to send .NET Alerts, and thats still $10K/year. 10:37:04 AM

Not to worry. Russell Beattie has Jabber-based toaster (BlogAgent). [toolbox] This is cool, Russell has a Java/Jabber clone of BlogToaster, and by a strange coincidence both Russell and I worked at [the now closed] StreetFusion. 10:37:04 AM

Paul Kulchenko [of SOAP::Lite fame] has started a blog, and emailed me about a typo in my entry about the revised DIME specs, it was of course a WS-Attachments spec, not a WS-Security spec, doh !. Thanks Paul. 10:37:04 AM

Henrik Frystyk Nielsen announces a revised DIME specification, and a WS-Attachments specification [which replaces the SOAP over DIME specification], both are now sporting MSFT & IBM authors. 10:37:04 AM
