There's a big yellow bar on the Twitter home page today saying it will be down for maintenence betw 10AM and 10PM today. I haven't heard any grumbling about this, but it's worth a bit of a grumble. What other basic form of communication goes down for 12 hours at a time? What if the web went offline for 12 hours at a time? It's unthinkable, because the web is built on the Internet and is decentralized and redundant. A single router or server can go down for a few hours, days or forever, and the web keeps on tickin.  Same with email. If Gmail started having twelve-hour planned outages, as much as I like Gmail, I'd switch. I can't be without email for any extended period of time.  Okay, let's give the guys at Twitter credit -- they stopped being flip about Twitter taking naps or showers. No one likes jokes when a line of communication is down. Now I'd like them to take another step. Assuming these long outages are really necessary, explain to us what they're for. I can take a guess -- something about their database needs changing, and all the data in all the files must be processed to implement the change. Any updates made while such a process is running would be lost, so the server must be shut off. But this is just a guess.  Another guess -- maybe they've hired a scaling expert who needs to make one final major adjustment before these outages are a thing of the past? No one would want to make such a promise, that's offering too much temptation to Dr Murphy, but that would be good news. Maybe Twitter is getting on to solid ground, finally.  It's fairly amazing that there isn't a viable Twitter clone out there yet. I'd also like to see something much more decentralized, based on static files, available to any Twitter-like system. It doesn't seem that far out of reach. With all the scaling troubles Twitter has had it's surprising that there haven't yet been any entrepreneurs willing to enter the space as competition to Twitter.  Users and developers are learning first-hand why centralized systems are so fragile. I'm sure they're doing a heroic job at Twitter, the best they can with what they have, but it's not good enough when the service takes a 12-hour break while many of the humans that depend on it are awake and working.

JNBridge will bridge the Microsoft .Net and Java Message Service (JMS) worlds Tuesday with the release of adapters linking the two platforms.The adapters connect JMS systems to .Net applications and Microsoft's BizTalk Server integration software.Adapters include: JNBridge JMS Adapter for .Net, to integrate any vendor's JMS implementation with a .Net application, and JNBridge Adapter for BizTalk, to connect to Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 or BizTalk Server 2006 R2."If your enterprise is built around JMS messaging, and a lot of them [are], this allows them to bring in .Net technology and integrate seamlessly," said Wayne Citrin, JNBridge CTO.There are users who want to develop in .Net or do Web development in ASP.Net but have to integrate with infrastructure already there, he said. Until now, there also has not been a satisfactory way to integrate JMS with BizTalk server, Citrin said."Out of the box, BizTalk doesn't support JMS queues," said JNBridge user Matthew Dean, a senior consultant at CTS, a software and professional services firm that has been using the BizTalk adapter. Although the product he used has had limitations of a beta offering, JNBridge developers have been responsive to issues, Dean said.BizTalk, said Dean, is being used by CTS to unite disparate systems that need to either feed into or retrieve data from an asset management application, he said.The .Net adapter uses Microsoft's Windows Communication Foundation Line-of-Business adapter technology. Both adapters use an interface to hide complexities of building a JMS client, and both utilize technologies from the JNBridgePro Java and .Net interoperability product.The BizTalk adapter costs $9,950 per server, while the .Net adapter also is priced at $9,950 but licenses are provided for 50 users.
