Some of my detractors say I have attention deficit disorder, and I’m sure it looks that way to them, but actually sometimes I figure out which way we’re going before most other people do. Then, the only thing to do is to wait. An example of this is the SOAP and XML-RPC interface for Manila, which we came out with in 1999, three years ago. Today I read that Google and Microsoft are the only ones with real world apps that support Internet scripting. See what I mean. If you’re not there at the right time, it doesn’t matter. This doesn’t trouble me. We need Google to get everyone looking at this stuff. And in the intervening three years we had time to figure out more stuff and get it implemented too.
