If you haven't yet checked out the XMethods Web site and you are trying to develop Web services get yourself over there pronto. At the XMethods site you'll find tutorials, demos, code and lots of links to related resources.
I particularly like the implementations page which lists links for packages and implementations and their publishers.
The other terrifically useful section is Tutorials, a list of user contributed tutorials on how to install and use a variety of implementations. The fact that the tutorials are user contributed makes them very practical guides to dealing with the sometime eccentric details of leading edge products.
XMethods also publishes a number of programmatic interfaces including:
You can also register on the XMethods site, which allows you to post messages on the message boards, register clients to use XMethods services and publish services for others to use (and for that matter, test for you).
XMethods was founded in 2000 by two guys in San Jose - Tony and James Hong. They are to be congratulated for an extremely useful site. [Network World] |

Tip for Using the Same Computer at Home and Work
Many users use the same laptop at home and at work. There are challenges to making this work because you have to use different accounts to access the home network and the corporate network domain. Donald Nientker shares a solution that works for him:
"After I had to reinstall XP, I accidentally found out the following 'trick': Set the computer up for 'on the road' and for use on the network. Then, while being connected to the network, log on using the 'on the road' logon. In the Windows Explorer you can then click Tools, Map network Drive and enter drive directory (\\server\dir) and the domain. You are asked for Username and Password once and after that, every time I plug the network cable in, I have access to the network without having to switch the user. Following this, I disabled the logon window in Control Panel, User accounts, Change the way users log on or off. Now I don't have to log on, whether on the road or in the office and don't have to worry about different user accounts."

"There is nothing like that feeling of spending days and days banging your head
against a wall trying to solve a programming problem then suddenly finding that
one tiny obscure and seemingly unrelated piece of the puzzle that unlocks the
solution. Oh yeah!"

"Management at eSnipe,
which is me, is also feeling the pain of the 2002 bear market. So rather than
pout about it, I bought some stuff on eBay that I really didn’t need, but made
me feel better."
