envelope's Journal: Soap

Okay, the knee is getting better.

Soap. Here's the thing: When the bar of soap gets really small, its hard to use it anymore. If it breaks in half, then you're really in trouble.

Here's how I avoid the tiny piece of soap problem. When the soap starts getting small, I go ahead and open up a new bar. I get both the new and the old piece good and lathery, and then I stick them together. The next day, I try to keep them stuck together. Eventually, the old thin bar kind of melds into the new big bar. Problem solved.

Oh yeah, Simple Object Access Protocol. That's cool too. I've been working on some web services recently. The problem I've run into is that I don't know enough of the low-level SOAP stuff to make everything work the way I want it, not the way M$'s wizards want it to. So I've been trying to grok all that.
