XBox 360!! It will blow your mind!!
Here comes the new TOY...!! MS unvieled its much awaited XBox 360 recently!! ohh bouy i m in awe with its rendering and the clarity, much better than its predecessor...!!

Custom symmetrical 3 Core CPU, with each core running at 3.2 GHz(Twice the speed of my laptop processor)
Ultra-realistic graphics with the custome 500MHz ATI card!!
The joysticks are morphed to wireless!!

Certainly its the future of entertainment!!

The Black Art of Designing

Most of programmers are darn good at coding but always juggle up with problems when it comes to the module as a whole. Every system/module bares the tag of Good or Bad based on its 'Design'. System/module can be a fathomable only with a good 'Design'. I always felt 90% of us lack in coming up with 'Good Designs', I agree there are entities like change of req's which is uncontrollable causing hindrance. Thats one reason why designing is such a great challenge. Most of the systems/modules fail becoz of flaws in the Design which further lead to flaws in our coding. I always dreamt of being a perfect and good designer but I chuckle when i look at my designs... :D

Now what is 'Good Design' all about? as per me its like a 'stencil for system and coding' to do the things effectively... Good Design is like a sound mind in a sound system. A good design allows your code to perform the way it is supposed to with minimal code duplication, simple flows(mind u its not the simplest), stable and easily extensible/reusable... Although it may seem quite easy to put it in words but difficult to keep all these attributes intact while designing. At the same time its very much necessary to code as per the design guidelines, because there are ample chances of screwing up the system when u go down into coding even though the design is good.

I sometimes feel most of the OOP languages we have today always pounded set of design principles in a way... May be I should also blame the practitioners of it too for following the said principles always.. I have seen majority of ppl who design, always felt like they sat down in front of a pail of design patterns and grab a fistful and hurled them in general direction of some code. This only proves that ppl have considered the Design Patterns as there end goal and not a tool... In a way they have moulded there grey cells to restrict only to Design Patterns... dont you agree with me? I am certainly not blaming Design Patterns but there are things apart from that too...

At the end of the day... I personally feel 'Designing' is an art and you cultivate more when you do it... can never possess it by reading books... At the same time everybody are not gifted with this art.

There is an ancient proverb which says 'Necessity is the mother of all inventions'... but now this has been morphed by today's techno savvy world to 'Competition is the Step-mother of all Inventions'. Neurons of our cerebrum always comes out with innovative ideas. This is the step-by-step execution of 'Programaniac' on his virtue to return to main source by executing instruction set.

I m 'Programaniac' and let me introduce my 'main()' to u!! the beginner who accepts 'variable number of arguements' to perform some set of instructions but mind u return type is always 'void' . Always has the capability to control other 'sub-functions' of 'Programaniac' with tandem neverthless one day will return to 'main source'. Has been 'compiled' to 01 and 'loaded', bourne to 'link' with everything. Always susceptable to super-system generated 'signal'.. ;-)

Presently executing the instruction in the one of his sub-function 'blogIT'... parallel to it handling other complex sub-functions of 'Programaniac'. On its journey to the completion his technical history will be recorded henceforth.

Will be back soon... 'WAIT' instruction executed.
