A browser-based debugger for RPC calls. It lets you type in an XML procedure call and run it on betty.userland.com (and elsewhere).

betty.userland.com is running 5.0.2b9.

I re-ran the performance tests with 5.0.2b9.

A question I'm thinking about. The LA Times and others say Microsoft is doing something wrong by spending money to manufacture public opinion. Maybe so. But to balance this, the press could dig harder to find stories that aren't manufactured. Much of what they cover are big company orchestrations. Usually they don't pan out. There may be a chance to change Microsoft, but there's also a chance to reform the way the media covers our industry. Let's go for less euphoria and more realism.
