In short: Gianpaolo presents a daring proposition about a deregulated IT . I believe that GP's idea is a very valid one. In the post below I explore the implications of a world where consumerism is brought to the extremes of IT deregulation: in such a...

Dear loyal reader. Are you tired of my issues with English tenses or my heavy Italian accent, but still interested in CardSpace? My good friend Richard Turner has the right balm for your Broca's area : a couple of screencasts, a base CardSpace walkthrough...

At the Novel Brainshare conference something awesome happened. I absolutely urge to check out the entire Dale Old's post on the subject, however the following fragment should give you some measure of how important that event is (I added the bold): ...

I LOVE Wired . It's the only magazine I read on regular basis (every issue, actually) for which I DON'T have a subscription. That would deprive me from the pleasure of buying it as soon as I spot it on the shelf, thing that happen with other magazines...

During this week in Singapore I visited many enterprise customers, and of course when you talk about WCF/WF/CardSpace the three letter word that begins with "S" and ends in "OA" eventually come up. For enphatizing my position "SOA is an Architecture,...

Orcas is finally out :-) Matt gives a superbly detailed intro to the new features in this post . Today I had a chance to showcase some of the new Orcas features to a nice audience here in Singapore , specifically the syndication & web capabilities...

Tomorrow afternoon I'm speaking at the event described below. For the demo part I think I will show the mighty DinnerNow , the brainchild of my excellent teammates ( James , Matt , Craig , David , Nigel to name a few). If you have even a slight interest...

...and here there's photographic proof. In the below picture I am testing the theory for which if you expose yourself to natural light you fool the circadian cycle into believing you're not really entitled to feel drowsy. This night my old friend sleeptracker...

One of the most common question I've got in the last year or so had to do with OpenID and if it had a role in out future plans. I can only guess that the OpenID guys received a corresponding question about CardSpace... well, you don't need to wonder anymore...

I got my Opinity profile: http://vibro.opinity.com/ :-). The idea of a reputation profile is very nice per se, but what really made me make my move was learning that they support self issued cards along with OpenID ! Try it, you'll discover how handy...

Hervey , Dennis and their team just went live with, no pun intended, the all new & improved live labs STS !! While the former incarnation was a pure resource STS, this is a full fledged Identity Provider STS. If you have a Live ID, you can go throught...

[edit: Caleb points out that I could be clearer in stating that using just the PPID for authenticating requests is truly a bad idea, and I have to agree. Language hardening in progress..] In short: When you register users by using their information...

Well, what a alliterative title :-) I've been asked in several occasions how to use managed cards, and specifically the simple STS sample , together with the surprisingly popular WPF smartclient sample . It is not especially difficult: few changes...

That is to say, my router works/all my battery powered gadgets are recharging/the food moved back from the balcony to the refrigerator/I don't havt to do the most trivial activities at the light of pieces of swag gathered in my years of showing up at...

A customer asked me to forward him some info about how CardSpace is being received by the industry. The bunch of links below is by no mean complete, I'm waaaay too sleepy for hoping to compile a decent list, however those articles should be enough for...

Well, I guess a lot of people waited for this . Being able to write WS-* apps on phone? THIS IS GREAT!!!!
