BizTalk Server 2006 funnies

When you use the BizTalk Web Services Publishing Wizard and, when you try to browse the asmx, you hit an error like

Compiler Error Message: CS0426: The type name 'XsdTypesBody' does not exist in the type

... well, you caused the problem yourself.

Things go wrong if you enter the same name in two places in the publishing wizard (when publishing schemas).

Okay, so I'm not currently sure which two places. I get the feeling it's the web-service-description name and the web-service name, which are the first two nodes in the tree you have to put together. Could have been the location two pages later for all I know, though. Still... if you make 'em all different it works!

Making Nice Coffee with the Delonghi EAM3200S

Let's (finally) get this thing started with the important stuff, then.

I've owned a Delonghi Magnifica eam3200s coffee machine for a while now.  

I was initially underwhelmed with the purchase:  it made coffee slickly but it just didn't taste all that good.  (I drink white-without normally, but am partial to the odd espresso when the time is right.)  Either too bitter, or too weak.

Anyway, I went through a phase of trying various settings and various beans. (I remember: Illy, some stuff from Whittards, some freshly roasted stuff from www.hasbean .co.uk.)

I finally managed to get a decent, consistent shot from the thing that's good enough to drink neat and good enough that, if I'm walking past a coffee shop on the way home, I'll walk on by - because my stuff's better.

So...

Recommended coffee beans:  Waitrose Espresso.  (Black tin, red lid.  I think they're still £2.99.) 

Recommended water setting:  third dot from minimum.

Recommended coffee quantity setting:  Max.

Recommended grinder setting: 4-ish.

That produces a smallish shot of coffee (apparently you can't make *real* espresso with these things...  I did try to get it to take the recommended 20-25 seconds to make the shot but it really doesn't produce much worth drinking).   Top it up with hot water from the spout to make a nice Americano.
