As a follow-up to yesterdays post.
"I’ve set my bozo bit for WS and SOA types who are repositioning themselves as REST stalwarts. Spotting a bandwagons is not an indicator of competence."

Looks like Burton thinks REST will go mainsteam in the next couple of years. Given that we’ve been feed that protocol independence and stuff like WS-MEX, ERPs and WS-Trust was really important, it’s interesting to see the big guys now thinking REST is the next big thing. Did we all of a sudden realize that all that cruft wasn’t all that crucial anyways?
Tool vendors is getting into REST. I guess any support is a nod of approvement, but given the focus on code-first, remote invocation, ignore-the-network frameworks that rules the WS-* world, I keep my hopes low for the near future. Please convince me otherwise, in the meantime a good HTTP client, XOM and Restlets will be sufficient.

One small bump that someone had modified slightly since my last visit, and this is the result. 
The knee isn’t looking very good either, but the picture of it doesn’t really make it justice.
In addition, it’s great planning to perform a dive the day before I’m taking Albin to day care for the first time :-)
Anyways, Copenhagen was great. Expect a more detailed report soon.

Seems like my new Wordpress theme broke the OpenID form controls. I’ll do some theme wrestling after the weekend.

This weekend, me and the wife will be on our own in Copenhagen, one of my favorite cities. We’ll even be staying at a five star hotel (warning: Flash and sound ahead). Expect lots of good food and general slacking.
The titel refers to Riket, go see it if you haven’t.

One of my very smartest colleagues has just started his own blog over at this slightly odd address http://de9644.wordpress.com/. If you care about experiences concerning integration in general and WebSphere in particular, you should probably keep track.
Also added to my linkroll.

On Thursday I was interviewed by a journalist from the Swedish computer magazine Computer Sweden. The topic was how it has worked out to take paternity leave as a dad in the IT industry. I was probably a pretty dull subject since I’ve only experienced the positive sides of staying home.
Today I meet up with a photographer who took some shoots of me and Albin. Hopefully he’ll choose one with Albin in focus and me as a blur somewhere in the background. I’m no good on getting this kind of attention.
Update: rumour has it that the article was in the paper today. I haven’t seen it so I have no clue as to how stupid I look in the picture or how cute Albin is. Can’t seem to find it online and I’m not a subscriber.

Musikbyrån, the outstanding music show on SVT are currently running a series where they profile some of the major music cities. This evenings program was all about the new second wave of french dance music (the first being Daft Punk, Cassius et al). They got some great stuff coming out of Paris right now. Of those featured, Uffie and Surkin where those that gave me the hardest time to sit down. Uffie reminds me a lot like Lily Allen, just even more funky and outspoken.
Surkin is playing at Debaser in Stockholm and Malmö later in May, to bad I won’t be around any of those places at that time. If you’re into chopped up electro, make sure you get there.

Against my own better judgement I’m trying out Twitter. After a day, I’m far from convinced that it’s of any use. If you know me and are using Twitter, feel free to add me as a friend, maybe that will make it more interesting.
Well, at least they gave me a cute looking error screen.

Inspired by Mårten and Mark Baker I’ve just disabled my del.icio.us posts here at protocol7. Like Mark, they mostly served as an excuse for me not to write real posts. If you still want them, they are over here.
