Oops!
Sorry, I forgot to include why I think blogs are awesome in my last post. I forget where, but I read that some people prefer the newsgroups to weblogs. I look at the newsgroups as a place to ask a targeted technical question. I can do that here on my weblog, but the weblogs also give all of us a chance to talk about things at random. So I get more bang for the buck here.

Lesson learned and aren't blogs just awesome?

My 2 cents on the Yukon-Whidbey delay

Getting some security religion
We recently had a security consultant come in to give us some guidance. Since I am the developer, not the database or network engineer, I learned a few things but the one that really got me was the use of ports with Oracle instance setups. Hackers always look for the obvious, and usually that means default settings that never get changed.

Gearing up for web services
We finally have a project that looks like a good candidate for web services. I have played around with some samples, but now I am looking for some meat. I have a basic understanding of what's going on but I am very concerned about security. I am aware that WSE is ready for release so I'll be looking into that.
