  • .NET vs. J2EE

    ".NET 1.1 framework running on Windows 2003 with SQL Server 2000 database achieved the best throughput results for direct Web Service invocation test on an 8 CPU host, at 1488.53 transactions per second (1072.90 transactions per second on a 4 CPU host), followed by .NET 1.1 running on Windows 2003 and Windows 2000 with Oracle9i as the backend database. The fastest J2EE application server performance was achieved by JBoss running on Red Hat Linux 8.0 at 513.33 transactions per second (354.25 transactions per second on a 4 CPU host) and followed by Application Server Y at 411.87 transactions per second (312.70 transactions per second on a 4 CPU host) and Application Server X at 288.26 transactions per second (213.37 transactions per second on a 4 CPU host)."

  • RIAs

    With all the talk about Flash based RIAs, check out this dealy that Scoble pointed out a few minutes ago:

  • Soap vs. Something else

    Don and Sam are both smart guys. I generally agree with both of them. But, tonight I have to make a choice... I am siding with Don on this one. When .NET first came out, I would have pushed remoting, but with the WS-Extensions becoming reality, lately I am realizing just how much potential SOAP has and how much cooler (even if more verbose) it is than remoting. As time goes on, I think we will see a lot of things you can do w/ SOAP that aren't readily available in the remoting infastructure (not that you couldn't build them, just that lots of cool people will build lots of cool SOAP stuff because it is the happening thing and remoting is so 1990s).

  • Chris Sells

    Chris has been asymilated... I guess the reason that big sucking sound seemed so loud is that it was right behind him :-).

  • Sean Fights Back

    Sean (the Architecture "guru" from MM) doesn't agree with me about MX, but he doesn't seem to understand what I was saying, so I will try to explain a little better this time :-).

  • FreeTextBox.NET 1.5

    The 1.5 version of FreeTextBox is out. Very cool stuff. Office 11 styles are now included.

  • ENT Support for .NET Weblogs Archive

    The weblogs archive now has ENT support. Very cool stuff in the works. Incoming feeds will automatically be enriched with ENT data. Still working on the categorization, so open to suggestions. Currently, the idea behind the architecture is that ENT info regarding the general feed will be inserted into the node. If you want to add additional ENT info to your individual posts, please do so, because there isn't a good way to do this automatically. In my mind, the ENT clouds should be arranged something like this:

  • Off Topic?

    Ok, I know this was hashed around a week or so ago in a different context, but maybe some people have some new or interesting ideas they could share.
