This morning I was chatting to Matt Biddulph of DOPPLR about this Infoworld story based on Netcraft data, which claims “Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS) continues to narrow the gap with the open source Apache Web server”.
Matt is a bit of a data junkie, and as such he went to the source.

How would you feel about having your comments rated? SezWho?
August 6, 2007 – 4:27 pm
Sezwho is building a service to enable just that - comment aggregation and ranking. I am skeptical of the business model, or at least the revenue projections, but the core idea may have legs. If we’re about making stars of the community, then I suppose people need a chance to shine. What do you think?

What SOA needs to learn from Ruby On Rails
August 3, 2007 – 5:59 pm
Convention over configuration.
A while back I talked to lessconfig, based on the lesscode idea.
What is the default config for SOA? Why don’t we try and solve the 95% before we move on to the edge cases?
Big SOA with reg/rep and so on- who needs it? Who is using it? Remember UDDI? It was designed to [...]
on blogging: no niche required
August 3, 2007 – 1:15 pm
Its a truism, though not a Truitt-ism, that blogs must tackle niche subjects. they must remain “on topic”. in order to be Long Tail. Anne Truitt Zelenka argues the flipside here and I am definitely with Anne.
“The key to the social web is that you’re not just a consumer or a user or part of [...]

About “Weasel Words”: Hey John Wesilheued!
August 1, 2007 – 1:42 pm
Same word root as Bison? wow.
And the egg-sucking derivation is classy, too.
weasel
O.E. weosule, wesle “weasel,” from P.Gmc. *wisulon (cf. O.N. visla, M.Du. wesel, Du. wezel, O.H.G. wisula, Ger. Wiesel), probably related to P.Gmc. *wisand- “bison” (see bison), with a base sense of “stinking animal,” because both animals have a foul, musky smell (cf. L. vissio [...]

Why Microsoft Cloud Will Fail With Hosting Partners
July 31, 2007 – 1:27 pm
What Isabel said. Seriously- Microsoft needs to own the service level and take advantage of web scale out architectures if its going to compete with Google. Zimbra is exposed to the same issue because of its OEM strategy. Web apps need web performance, and hosted apps just don’t offer that. From a third party perspective [...]

Anyone else think sneakwrap terms are often ludicrously one-sided? Judges too, it seems. I would just like to take the time to commend Ed Foster for continually griping about the issue, and to the judges doing the right thing… for doing the right thing. EULAs - let’s push back.

IBM of Course *Does* Support Ubuntu

There is the small matter of DB2 support, as Simon Scullion reminded me this morning. Doh! I assume DB2 supports Ubuntu as part of its ambitions to foster better developer penetration. Under the leadership of Janet Perna DB2 was the least developer savvy software brand at IBM. Today, on the contrary, the database folks are [...]
