wanted: a breakthrough for testing distributed systems (Nov 13 2003 12:58 GMT) - The last few days I've been heads-down working most of the time on a distributed system that involves going deeply into the arcana of TCP/IP. It's an eye-opening experience. First, because Java proves once more to be a rock, obtaining pretty high data transfer rates (currently 37 KB/sec on a 50 KB/sec connection) even with all the twists and turns the code is taking. Second, but most important, it has reminded me of how little we know of distributed systems, how to build them properly, and how to test them. By distributed systems, I mean truly distributed. |

Concept of Flotation (Nov 13 2003 12:55 GMT) - Turn me upside up and down, give me some room to float about my business is all that I ask, like a balloon floating upside down I begin to ponder on the options of my lack of freedom.Yesterday brought yet another conflict in the long series of conflicts involving Claire, Jenna too this time. Naturally not a single one yielded any worthwhile resolutions or solutions for that matter. Solutions lie in the ability to be aware of self and the environment, neither are in the equation fore no solution will present itself as far as the eye can see.The conflict stems from a singular point, neither Claire or Jenna ever disclose any details, anything social exchange simply stays afloat on the surface level of understanding, rarely does it ever dive into the depths of complexities. |
