			<outline text="Now that we have the foundation for Web Services in Radio established, we can call via SOAP or XML-RPC, and we can write services that are callable over the same protocols, and we know that we can make cross-Internet calls, there's one more area to focus on, and it should be relatively easy, but may take a few steps -- that's using SOAP and XML-RPC to communicate with apps running &lt;i&gt;on the same machine. &lt;/i&gt;" created="Sat, 09 Feb 2002 18:55:50 GMT"/>

In the upper left corner of the screen was the word LIVE, promising that what I was seeing was happening right then, but apparently it was not. I checked in at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.weblogs.com/&quot;&gt;Weblogs.Com&lt;/a&gt; during the ceremony and found the answer to the secret -- who was chosen to light the flame? The Web now covers these events in real time. Lies like LIVE are easily exposed. They should be aware of this. Was it a news event or entertainment? If it was news, then NBC has an &lt;a href=&quot;http://scriptingnews.userland.com/backissues/2002/02/04#integrity&quot;&gt;integrity&lt;/a&gt; issue (issue #2, knowingly saying something that isn't true). Even if it was just entertainment it was a bold lie. Yuck. And why aren't there 20 channels for Olympic coverage, with a desktop web app that allows me to program my TiVO for the next two weeks. I'd like to watch a curling event. A little bit of ski jumping. I'd like to see the Jamaican bobsled team. Yah man. Why is Taiwan called China Taipei? Sting was great, what a neat idea to team him up with YoYoMa. Time for some more coffee!" created="Sat, 09 Feb 2002 16:07:41 GMT"/>

It's a hot topic right now. There's a lot of that going on. I get it in spades. You might be surprised how many people think I'm the devil, or completey incompetent, or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=incontinent&quot;&gt;incontinent&lt;/a&gt;, or just a convenient punching bag. Microsoft gets a lot of that too, much more of course than I do, because they're so much bigger, and so much more &lt;i&gt;in&lt;/i&gt; the conversation. I guess we all want to be appreciated for the good work we do, and want our failures and flaws to be overlooked or failing that, understood. I have no wisdom of my own to offer at this time, but I do remember well what &lt;a href=&quot;http://scriptingnews.userland.com/whatIsScriptingNews#monkeysAndTrees&quot;&gt;JLG said&lt;/a&gt; about monkeys and trees and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=derriere&amp;r=2&quot;&gt;derrieres&lt;/a&gt;. We'll just keep moving on and hope that people get that we're all just human, even those who people think are godlike.
