Sweet.  Russell Beattie blogs a screenshot from iTunes for Windows.  Downloading immediately.  Plus, I need to get this new Voice Recorder accessory.  A steal at $50, since I was a biscuit away from spending $75+ on one.  This will be great for taping meetings, presentations, stand up comedy, or beat poetry. :)

Great time tonight at the Cleveland .NET Special Interest Group.  We started at 6pm and were still going towards 9pm.  Not bad for a talk that was supposed to be ~ an hour.  Great crowd, standing room only and GREAT questions.   Covered the history of everything from The Big Bang, DNA, up till that evening.

One of the big topics o' interest was WSE 2.0, and Web Services Security.  We spent a lot of time (over 60 minutes) just talking about separating Domain Object implementation from Messages from Transport Protocol.  I showed my boss Chris Brook's great single implementation/multiple transport of a Web Service using WSE 2.0.  With a single chunk of imp code (via his "imp factory") we support multiple flavors of Web Services using ASMX, WSE 2.0 SOAP and more importantly WSE 2.0 SOAP over TCP Sockets!  Very cool.

We talked about the clear possibility that we could support SOAP over other transports, and Queuing came up often.  So, I retire to the hotel and what do I see?  $d(Synchronicity).  My friend Christian Weyer pointing us to an upcoming(?) MSMQ Transport for WSE and an existing(!) MQ Transport for WSE.  Great stuff from Kevin Hammond who today has MQSeries and who is refactoring MSMQSoapProvider for async support.  Where/When are we getting these bits?

It's 4:18 in the flippin' morning. ;)  I'm up and heading to the airport for an INETA Gig in Cleveland.  United "Easy Checkin" is "temporarily unavailable" (for the last 2 days) so I'm rushing.  I've gotten too used to printing my own boarding pass.

Still hip-deep in ASP.NET.  I'll tried to post more tonight, but lately it's been nothing but:

• Command-Line builds with DevEnv.exe instead of Nant. (not by choice, but not working to shabby either)
• Complete validation framework relacement from the Amazing Peter Blum.  Truly shows off what can be done with ASP.NET.  Kudos Peter.  Plus, this guy writes Doc like you wouldn't believe.
• Continuous Integration beginning to limp along with CruiseControl.NET.  Hopefully this will be nailed down soon.
• My first big project out from under the oppresive regime of VSS and into the no-file-reservations world of CVS.

But, tonight I'll show some great stuff that Corillian and my CTO Chris Brooks has been doing with Web Services.

I'm off!

From Microsoft-Watch:

"Microsoft is expecting to close registration for its Professional Conference this Monday (October 13), as it is now oversubscribed, according to Sanjay Parthasarathy, corporate VP, platform strategy and partner group.""

That's so cool.  PDC is going to kick the llama's ass this year.
