the new annie lennox album is coming out soon! she is absolutely brilliant, one of the best musicians of the last decade IMHO.

another awesome bit of software technology is Linda, the tuple spaces architecture by David Gelernter. like Lisp, it provides a simple set of primitives with great expressive power. but i don't think that the Linda approach scales well. the remove() primitive requires some degree of locking that is not suited for distributed environments. i don't think that JavaSpaces does Linda justice - it could have been implemented far better. i built a Linda prototype on top of my last company's Voyager product that was more in the spirit of the original vision.

had fun presenting SOA at the MS Visual Studio .NET launch event today in dallas. took a chance and did a live demo of VS.NET <-> GLUE/Eclipse interoperability. thankfully, the software didn't blow up like it did during my preparations. the souvenir MS shirt is better quality than most of my wardrobe!
