Dirk Olmes on Wednesday, January 26, 2011

I read a couple of RSS feeds regularly. Unfortunately, I work across a couple of machines: my laptop, the machine in the office, my wife’s laptop. This rules out using a local RSS reader as I’d have to manage the redundant subscriptions let alone I’d have to remember which feed entries I have already read [...]

Run Mule… run faster

Mariano Capurro on Friday, January 21, 2011

Opposite to men that with the years we get slower (at least that’s my case), the new version of Mule 3 showed an improvement in performance compared to previous Mule ESB versions.
