As I wrote earlier I’ve just spent four wonderful weeks on vacation. Great times and great feeling to do something completely different for a month.
First we went to Skåne and stayed for a week in Ystad, in this nice cottage.

Only about 1.90 m in height but it worked out alright. In the surrounding fields Elin took a Gladiator-inspired photo.

Then we went to Ängelholm at the other side of Skåne and stayed at a wonderful bed and breakfast, Galleri Grythyttan, with a very beautiful view from our bedroom window.S

Then we went to Denmark to visit my parents and sister. The Denmark visit included a short stop at Skagen where two oceans meet. Powerful stuff!

WCF, WSDL and differences from web services
I’m back after a four week vacation (oh yeah - us Swedes really has things going for us). More about the vacation later. First thing to learn this “season” is that the WSDL generated by WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) services differs from the one generated with ASMX web services.
The main difference is that the WSDL is generated with some kind of virtual links. That is; parts of the WSDL-file is retrieved using a different URL. For example: schemaLocation=”http://localhost:3236/Bokforing.svc?xsd=xsd0
This seems to be working fine in Visual Studio 2008 (and hopefully in 2005 also), since they are capable of navigating such references. But there are problems when you want to send the WSDL-file to someone as an attachment, or in other environment that can’t navigate such links.
Fortunally Christian Weyer has a suggestion on how to solve this. There are also some other very useful...

favorite band,
the Fodens
Richardsons band, in their best party-mode. The “main” soloist is an
excellent euphonium player named Glyn Williams, but here he tries out
some other instruments also.

Modelling - the result
As I wrote earlier
I have done another “photo session” for Avega. Who
knew that such assignments were to take place at a software consultant
firm ;).
I then promised to show the result and here it is.

I am really pleased with the result. It almost looks like it was drawn
or something. Really cool colors. It is a great photographer. The model
leaves more to wish for but you’ll have to work with what you’ve got…

Bus drivers on strike in Stockholm
This spring there has been strikes for some groups of workers who
actually might need it; nurses for example. And right now, in the
beginning of the vacation times, the bus drivers of Stockholm has gone
on strike. This in turn leads to a lot more people in the subway and
commuter trains.
But we are still not even near an ordinary day in the Tokyo metro…

Brass band videos, anyone?
Found
this page http://www.themusicpage.com/ that streams a lot of different
contests and performances from brass brand all over the world - seems to
be a bit a heavy on the down-under side but a lot of great stuff can be
found there.
For example recordings from the English Nationals that took place this
weekend, with Grimethorpe as the
winning band.
