I think this is really old, but it's too good not to spread:

In Nepomuk we have many many problems trying to use fairly simple types over SOAP, like HastTable<String, List<String>> etc... all things that worked well using XMLRPC. After lots of back and forth and changing from axis to xfire, and generating wsdls from code or vice versa etc. I'm not fairly certain that SOAP is a completely useless overcomplicated piece of dung, and I found this very entertaining conversation that proves it:s-stands-for-simple
Back to writing messages to files in /tmp for communication...

Looking through my harddisk trying to free up some space I just came across a folder called "old", which was a copy of my old harddisk, containing three folders "c","d" and "e" one for each partition, the whole thing was still only 3GB. In addition to lots of pictures, letters, etc. that I was sure was lost I found the sources for the very first webpage I made! This was back in the day when we had to make a long-distance phone call to get online (i.e. we had to phone to Oslo), and for some reason I shared my email with the friend who had signed up with the ISP. Maybe we hadn't heard of free webmail. My friend Johan was an early adopter and already had a webpage about the RPG Shatterzone, which amazingly still exists!. He had cool table-based layouts for making nice frames, and taught me everything I needed to know about HTML :)
He's still miles ahead of me and today he runs Styleboost.
So enough talk, without further ado, I give you
VACUUM FIGHTER!
The page mainly speaks for itself I think, although the sentence "I've spent a rather long time developing this X, not that it ever was finished." sounds like something I said last week :)
The download links for the code works, I will have a look at that now, maybe I'll post some highlights later!
