On the idea of Portable STS (P-STS)

Already Sunday evening. It was a weird weekend, partially spent under the influx of powerful pain killers (dentist played alpinist with my jawbone: and no, do not expect any aesthetical improvements). That's probably the reason for which I recalled this

Rising

Very impressive! I am sure that this great ranking is also thanks to the readers of this blog... so THANKS :-) Amazon stats are very volatile (I'll make a more detailed post about it), but it's still great. I think this is the best rank we got since publication.

Modeling Reality (II)

Ah, the beauty of models. A good model can capture the essence of a system, a phenomenon, anything: it allows you to easily manipulate things, make predictions, transport the knowledge you already have of a domain to a new one. It's just great, and as

The video "WS-Trust - Under the hood" is back online

It turns out that the channel9 video on ws-trust was down for (quite?) some time. I am pretty surprised by the number of people that is still checking out that clip! Now it works again, provided that you view it by clicking the download button (which,

I smuggled a neologism... or did I?

Back in October 2005, few weeks after I moved to the US, I wrote a blog post in which I introduced the idea of a collective name for the federated resources accessible to a company. One of the names I proposed was federnet . At the time I made a quick

On ProofTokens

Let's take a break from the visionary stuff (but I'll get back on that, especially now that Jon chimed in ) and get some good old WS-* action. One of the things I didn't cover in the WS-Trust video (I know, it doesn't work right now. I notified the channel9

...here there's the best approximation I found (short of a printout, of course, but that would be cheating:-) ). My wife just got a Sony ebook reader ; once we discovered it reads SD cards, we wanted to test it with a prerelease PDF of the book . Looks
