			<outline text="I received another book to review over the weekend. This one is about web services. It's a college textbook. I skimmed five chapters. Without saying who the author or publisher is, so no one can say I have a bone to pick with them, and with the disclaimer that the story they tell is totally flattering to me and UserLand, &lt;i&gt;they got the story wrong. &lt;/i&gt;" created="Mon, 29 Jul 2002 14:27:23 GMT"/>
			<outline text="Now I know what I'm &quot;supposed&quot; to say. Since they gave me so much credit, I'm supposed to be happy with it. But I'm not. I think books and magazine and news articles should at least &lt;i&gt;try&lt;/i&gt; to tell the story as it actually happened, not embellish it, or change it, or whatever they do." created="Mon, 29 Jul 2002 14:28:54 GMT"/>
			<outline text="The author clearly worked from this &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xmlrpc.com/stories/storyReader$555&quot;&gt;document&lt;/a&gt;. But he says that I designed XML-RPC, by myself, in frustration with the slow process of SOAP at Microsoft. Well, that's just not true. XML-RPC is a snapshot of SOAP taken in 1998. When it was designed it was not intended to be frozen, it was designed to be evolved. That it evolved so much as to be unrecognizable from what eventually was called SOAP might be interesting to some people. But XML-RPC did not come from left field. It was the earliest public version of SOAP. As far as I know, none of the people who were involved would tell a story that contradicts that." created="Mon, 29 Jul 2002 14:29:45 GMT"/>
			<outline text="If you read a Newsweek account of the development of a new Macintosh, what are the chances that the story bears any resemblance to what happened? If you read a Fortune story about Microsoft is there any truth to it? And how far back does this tradition go? Was there any truth to the history books we read when we were children? Does anyone try to tell the story as it happened or is everyone just trying to sell books and articles?" created="Mon, 29 Jul 2002 14:35:57 GMT"/>

My mind no longer seems so interested in solving problems by smoking cigarettes. There are still things that make me think of smoking, but not the things people warn about. Here's an example. I think &quot;Wouldn't it be nice to rent a house on the east coast of Florida for the winter and do a lot of body surfing?&quot; My mind thinks: &lt;i&gt;Cigarettes!&lt;/i&gt; I issue a correction. &quot;No cigarettes, sorry.&quot; " created="Mon, 29 Jul 2002 14:10:46 GMT"/>
			<outline text="Okay, so I can deal with that one. Now, here's another automatic response. I'm on my walk, pumping lots of oxygen, turning it into carbon dioxide, and feeling really good. My mind generates a limiting comment. &quot;But you're killing yourself by smoking.&quot; A moment of depression. Then I remember: &quot;No I'm not!&quot; In other words I'm not doing &lt;i&gt;anything&lt;/i&gt; overt to kill myself now. A nice difference. " created="Mon, 29 Jul 2002 14:09:09 GMT"/>
