Manage Service Engine

http://www.codeplex.com/servicesengine - is a Microsoft project released to CodePlex. This project has definitely grabbed my attention but I would really like to understand it better. So far I know it provides guidance around WCF Services. But does it simply help you generate a WCF based service tier or the MSE more like an Enterprise Service Bus implemented with WCF? If you can provide clarity on this project please do so.

IBM's Definition of Web Service: (A Web Service is a Web Application)

Web services are a new breed of Web application. They are self-contained, self-describing, modular applications that can be published, located, and invoked across the Web. Web services perform functions, which can be anything from simple requests to complicated business processes...Once a Web service is deployed, other applications (and other Web services) can discover and invoke the deployed service.

RSS Event Logs

I saw [RSSEventLogs] on Code Project and thought it was a really cool idea. The author has created a solution for exposing a server's event log via an RSS Feed. As the author mentions it is important to consider security. I really like this concept b/c so much information seems to gets trapped within the logs of a server. Sure we mean to login and review this information but when do we get the chance. By exposing this information via RSS people that need to review it can easily do so via an RSS Agregator.
