New Genghis Release Coming

Here. There has been all kinds of activity on Genghis since the v0.3 release. I've been gathering these bits together to make a coherent v0.4 release in the new year (right after I finish my darn book!). Those of you with final bits and pieces that need to get in before that release, please get them to me ASAP. Thanks.

And They Said it Wasn’t Ready For Production

Here. From Jesse Ezell: "Ximian, Inc., the leading open source desktop company, today announced that OpenLink Software, Inc., an industry leader in the development and deployment of secure, high-performance Universal Data Access and Web Services middleware, is using Mono™ as part of the development efforts for Virtuoso 3.0, its latest Universal Server release. Mono enables OpenLink Virtuoso to provide a consistent .NET common language runtime (CLR) and frameworks integration implementation across Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and UNIX. The OpenLink effort demonstrates platform-independent web services creation using any .NET-bound language, web services hosting, ASP.NET application invocation without IIS, and ADO.NET based data access. OpenLink's adoption represents one of the first commercial uses of the Mono Project, a community initiative launched by Ximian™ to develop an open source version of the Microsoft .NET development platform for Linux and UNIX."

Microsoft Releases MapPoint .NET Version 3.0

Here. I'm a big fan of both the MapPoint .NET web service specifically (it's a model in several areas) and of the idea of commercial web services in general. Someday I hope to be able to afford this one. : )

.NET Image Re-Coloring

Here. "This code first sets up an array of ColorMap objects, each of which contain the old color to transform from and the new color to transform to. The color map is passed to a new ImageAttribute class via the SetRemapTable. The ImageAttribute object is then passed to the DrawImage function, which does the color mapping as the image is drawn."

"[I]n VS.NET 2003, the latest version that supports the .NET Framework 1.1 and available in beta version to MSDN subscribers, C# projects allow you to add your shell commands to the pre-build and post-build events during the project build." A cool VS.NET trick from my VS.NET Info Center Q&A Forum.

Image Analysis and Web Services

Here. "Images are common currency in many business applications from banking to surveying and automotive engineering to semiconductor manufacturing. They face similar issues of distribution across already loaded networks, efficient processing and analysis, and the interaction of tools from multiple vendors. This article looks at the approach taken at Digital Healthcare, Ltd to solve its bottleneck for clinical image analysis and distribution. Digital Healthcare successfully implemented a secure n+1 tier architecture involving Web services, peer-to-peer resource sharing, and the Intel® Performance Libraries with C#* and the .NET* Framework."
