WCF, RLS and SSL

Wow, working in IT is simple as long as you have an acronym lookup, but this is what I have been working on (banging my head against) fo rthe last week, sorting out deploying a new security architecture.

My god is it complex. I am writing extensive notes at the moment and when I have finished they deployment I will will release a few of my common solutions to some of the problems I have faced.

As much as Bill and teh boys think that they have integrated security down pat, let me assure you that the documentation to make it all work is a mass of methods and turtorials and other problems all piled high and shuffled to make one cohesive solution.

Also I have been working towards achieving my TOGAF Architecture Exam, and again more acronyms. I am sure somebody somewhere thinks that there much easier for remembering things, but honestly lets face it.
If you work it out

WCF (3 Bytes)
Translating that (1 Byte)
Translation to (Windows Communication Foundation) (32 bytes)

Total Storage Require (36 bytes)

So just by removing the acronyms from the process would save 12 bytes for my title......... but I gues it would make typing it all so much more longwinded.

Anyway enough from my senile rumblings..........

Easter Weekend

Hi there, I just thought I'd post some pictures of what I got up to Easter weekend.
I decided that I wanted to try my hand at making a churburg style breastplate, for my wife and I wanted to see if I could do it all with out making a pattern just seeing if I had got my eye in for the 4 dimensions that armour needs to be.
The plates have rolled edges and the main part of the plates covered in a soft dark chocolate brown leather, with brass rivets. And the straps are all out of a nice burgundy leather.
There is still some bits that need going onto it as I did start to cast the v-shaped adornment in bronze but I cast the ends to thin and they split when I tried to drill the rivet holes.
Now I know that its a variation on a theme that the churburg is only depicted in plain plate, but at the period there are plenty of covered armours so I took a bit of artistic licence here(so please forgive me).

Help me the wife has landed
