Let me tell you the many ways I’ve frittered away my last two days sleeping reading useless web sites watching bad TV programs, such as the Evil Bargain Hunt I should be out there having fun and doing Stuff(tm). Oh well, maybe next time.

Web services fun
Been playing with web services and ws-security. It’s all good once you find the right tools. http://msdn.microsoft.com/webservices/ Click on the Web Services Enhancement 2.0 preview and get it. Makes signing SOAP transactions… easier. .NET framework 1.1 is fundamentally broken and majorly hard to do this with. Still, even WSE is far, far, far too hard…
Evil meter
Meebles has been extra evil recently. This gives you some clue: The carpets are getting a bit shaggy in areas, and he knows he is being bad… he makes sure I’m watching before he really digs the claws in.
Weekend
Talked crap with Paul on Friday night, but missed the drags (bummer). Helped my parents move on Saturday. Buggered! Had breakfast with Margaret. Did some retail therapy at Target. Had dinner with Andrea and watched Office Space for the nth time. Blogged. I need more weekend.

Cool day yet again – lots done, and no major hassles. ๐ Dinner at Inger’s (Luke is away at Usenix), and Colleen was there (surprise! :). Friends who have nice friends are so cool. Inger is taking the opportunity to eat meat whilst Luke is away, and she gave me some yummy casserole. Brendan lived…

Advogato – the end of blogging at Advogato
11 Jul 2002 (updated 11 Jul 2002) ยป It’s been a while between posts as I keep a journal on my own web site now, which I also neglect. Noticed that const has an account, updated certification as necessary. He is too harsh on himself, but updates his diary even more infrequently than I do….
Advogato – VNC 4.0 draft protocol and hacking on pbcs
15 Oct 2001 ยป It’s been an awful long time. hackery Been working on pbcs, a calendaring solution for work. It’s cool to be paid to hack on free software. Been working on a RFC draft for the VNC RFB 4.0 protocol. Almost done – just requires a little more attention to detail and then…
