I started a journal tonight for thinking out loud my woes about work. It's a bit preachy and rambling, doesn't make a huge amount of sense and worded in case my boss sees it - but there you go

I've just had the experience of dealing with an oddball proprietry RPC protocol in Delphi. Things were going pear-shaped quickly so we switched to XML-RPC. What a hoot! It doesn't do everything I want it to, but it works faster than SOAP or the proprietry protocol ever would. It also means that now I don't feel so stuck in Win32 land - I might have to write a Delphi server at present, but now I can talk to the world outside. When (if) we port to Kylix I won't have to change RPC protocols. I'm happy.
