REST as Simple as Possible
I've been doing a lot of REST based services lately and for something that is as simple a concept as REST it is actually not the easiest thing to find guidance for a .Net developer. It's simple, or at least it should be. My first stop was the WCF Rest Starter Kit. I thought great, surely this would get me going with no fuss. I only wish it were so. I thought I could create a project with it and just get going. Instead what I got was a whole heap of code that didn't really start me on the way at all. I won't totally bag on the starter kit. I rather like the items around the atom publishing protocol. I briefly considered just writing an http handler for that but I knew that there had to be a better way.

Testing Web Services remotely
I hate it when I forget something. I had one of the guys on my team today asked me how to invoke a web service remotely as he was getting an error. Well I knew right away what the problem was. But could remember the solution so I had to look and now I'm gonna put it here so it'll be easier to find next time.
