Chief Engineer, IONA
Steve Vinoski is Chief Engineer of Product Innovation for IONA Technologies in Waltham, MA. Steve is also an IONA Fellow. Steve joined IONA in December 1996 to start IONA's US-based Engineering organization and to lead the development of IONA's next-generation Adaptive Runtime Technology (ART), a highly flexible and high performance distributed computing engine that underlies IONA's products. As of the start of 2006, Steve has authored or co-authored approximately 70 highly-regarded publications about distributed computing, middleware, and integration. He writes the "Toward Integration" column for the IEEE Internet Computing magazine. Steve is a member of the editorial boards for the IEEE Internet Computing Magazine and the International Journal of Web Services Research He and Michi Henning are the co-authors of "Advanced CORBA Programming with C++", published in January 1999 by Addison Wesley Longman and widely acknowledged as the "CORBA Bible," and he co-wrote the popular "Object Interconnections" column on distributed object computing for the C/C++ Users Journal (and formerly for SIGS C++ Report) from 1995-2005 with Dr. Douglas C. Schmidt. A frequent conference speaker, Steve has traveled to many parts of the world giving tutorials and keynote speeches about topics such as CORBA, ART, and Web Services. Steve's current interests revolve around the use of dynamic languages in middleware and integration environments. Steve holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Christian Brothers College (now Christian Brothers University) in Memphis, TN. He is a member of both the IEEE and ACM.

dynamic languages / Software Development
It looks like Tim Bray and I currently happen to be in very similar places with respect to Ruby. I too am just starting to use Ruby in real production applications, and like Tim, I too have been ridiculously productive with it over the past few weeks.

middleware approaches / Software Development
Steve Loughran describes a CORBA issue with GNOME: Gnome is built on Corba. You can tell that by changing your hostname and noting how you can't start any apps by double clicking on the icons. That is an ORB at work, if ever I saw one.

Today I finally upgraded Eric's and my blogs to MovableType 3.2. It's about time -- I've had the install files for months, but I've just been too busy to get it done. I still have work to do with the templates, but in general things seem to be in order.

Software Development / standards
Having been involved in middleware standards for many years, I've often wondered why real message-oriented middleware (MOM) standards didn't seem to exist. There are proprietary message queuing products, but they don't talk to each other.
