Guess I’m a bit late, but this excellent J2ME app should let you sync your phones calendar with GCal. Of course my 6230 is not supported, but hopefully I’m getting a Nokia E60 in the near future. 🙂
Oh yeah, and here’s a plugin for Outlook to let you sync that, check it out here.
I just got notice that my VISA has been blocked because it has been copied. The e-mail is pretty generic so I’m not sure it’s because it’s actually copied, but a friend linked me to the Hotels.com article at Dagbladet. Maybe it’s not what is affecting me, but at first sight this just seems like pure stupidity. Why the hell is a E&Y guy running around with my card number on his laptop? It probably isn’t illegal, but it sure as hell isn’t smart! Jeez… 😉
Oh, and by the way. The banks are going on a strike on monday, so when I finally get my card I can’t withdraw anything because of the strike. Niiiice. 😉
English article here.
Christopher Koch has a good article here about SOA and agility here. He is pondering what is really needed from an organisation to get agility out of SOA. The conclusion seems to be that very few organisations has what it takes to make something real out of SOA.
He also mentions that even though people have deployed services, that should give them agility it doesn’t necessarily do that. This brings me back to something I have been thinking about lately; where it seems that many think they can get loose coupling just by implementing a WebService. It gives you some advantages over traditional RMI/EJB etc, but what is really going to kill your agility is the tight data coupling. If the two domains on each side of the service has near 100% overlap you should really start to wonder if you’re doing the right thing by using WebServices.
