		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://frontier.userland.com/stories/storyReader$7432&quot;&gt;Released&lt;/a&gt;: Beta versions of Frontier and Radio for Windows and Mac that interop via SOAP 1.1 with lots of other software. "/>

Right on. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xmlrpc.com/discuss/msgReader$1603?mode=day&quot;&gt;That's why&lt;/a&gt; we did xmlStorageSystem,  to be the backbone for all kinds of groupware apps."/>

		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/04/11/xmldevcon.html&quot;&gt;Edd Dumbill&lt;/a&gt;: &quot;Being so large, Microsoft practically has its own industry within itself, and it's run up hard against the problems of non-interoperability of SOAP implementations among the three SOAP stacks that its developed internally. Add to that the varying degrees of completeness of implementation in SOAP stacks external to the company, and there's an obvious problem to solve before SOAP can be proclaimed lingua franca of the web services world.&quot;"/>

		<outline text="Back from the W3C meeting. I shook TBL's hand again, put in a good word for the Web as a writing environment, asked for cooperation betw search engines and content management, and for simplicity in Web Service interfaces. Had a long pleasant talk with Andrew Layman of Microsoft, thanked him for helping &lt;a href=&quot;http://jake.soapware.org&quot;&gt;Jake&lt;/a&gt;, and talked with David Fallside the working group chair for XML Protocol. Noah Mendelsohn of Lotus went to Bronx Science two years before I did. He had a career at IBM, then quit to join Lotus, then IBM bought Lotus. Anne Thomas Manes of Sun said she had the Markoff &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/09/technology/09HAIL.html&quot;&gt;article&lt;/a&gt; pinned up in her cube. I told her that didn't surprise me. Had a good time, great politics, great schmooze, now back to work!"/>

			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://glennf.weblogs.com/2001/04/11&quot;&gt;Glenn Fleishman picks&lt;/a&gt; up the ball (thanks) in the ongoing argument with reporters talking about weblogs who think the world revolves around Blogger and Evan's friends. As I said on &lt;a href=&quot;http://davenet.userland.com/2001/04/10/theAmazingStoryOfSoapAndMicrosoft#theAmazingStoryOfSoapAndMicrosoft&quot;&gt;Tuesday&lt;/a&gt;, weblogs have changed the technology world far beyond what reporters are comfortable writing about. "/>
			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/images/emailToFleishmanWritingTool.gif&quot;&gt;In an email&lt;/a&gt; to Glenn last night I explained how what we're doing will percolate up to offer choice and freedom from lock-in, not just to people who develop server software, who are mostly invisible to the average reporter, but as word processing offered choice to writers in the 1980s, to writers. (Reporters are writers.) This is an oft-told tale on this site, but now the reality is coming closer and perhaps we can tap into their dreams of freedom now that they're interested (theoretically) in what's going on in weblogs. This is where the &quot;irascible gadfly&quot; thing really stings. They're not taking us seriously, and this makes our work harder. "/>
			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/12/technology/12REVI.html&quot;&gt;Markoff&lt;/a&gt;: &quot;The shift in the market has created an unfamiliar paralysis among Silicon Valley's venture capitalists, many of whom have a dazed look as they watch previous bad investments crumble and try to figure out what the next hot investment will be. As a result, the area's venture-capital-to-entrepreneur ecosystem has abruptly stalled, at least temporarily.&quot;"/>
			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://themes.editthispage.com/&quot;&gt;MattyG&lt;/a&gt; is back on top of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.userland.com/mostReadSitesYesterday&quot;&gt;daily rankings&lt;/a&gt;, a position he has consistently enjoyed since we started keeping track, and DaveNet has fallen back to #6 (it's usually in the teens) but check it out, Radio is a strong #2. I guess something is happening. I like it I like it.  "/>

			<outline text="Anyway, it's going to be a short day. I'm off to San Jose to participate in the W3C &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/03/wsws-program&quot;&gt;Web Services Workshop&lt;/a&gt;."/>
