Microsoft recruits OpenID evangelist

OpenID Provider Only? 

Gates Horns

Microsoft have been an OpenID provider for some time, i.e., they allow you to use Windows Live ID to log into other services. They don't currently allow you to do the reverse, i.e., use another OpenID provider (like Google or Yahoo) to access Windows Live ID. OpenID is going to end up being pretty pointless if all the big players stay this way; all take and no give.

SXIP appears to have been dormant for some time

SXIP on google code hasn't had a release of any sort since February and is at version 0.9 complete with a selection of know defects that require you to download and compile the source for yourself.

As an open source project it lacks somewhat, I've found joid a far better proposal for JEE web sites.

If this is all it takes to get a plum job with the devil, maybe I should be applying for high-flying jobs too?
