Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!

I've changed the name of my blog to something more
me. From here on out, Intelligent By Design will go by #Reload (pronounced:
check reload). It sounds pretty lame now, but after it sets in it just feels
right.

I know it's been about a good month and a half
since I last posted, but I had to get in good with my schedule before I even
considered working on my blog. I have been able to keep up with facebook because...well
that's facebook. You can't just leave facebook alone for a month and a half,
it's too addictive. So I'm going to be posting to this alot more often, so the
two of you who actually read this can rejoice because I'm back. I have a lot of
catching up to do. But I'll do it over the next few days, for now I'll just
talk about one thing, Project Indiana.

Project Indiana is Sun Microsystems' answer to
Ubuntu Linux. Using OpenSolaris as a platform, Sun hopes to increase the number
of users who do OpenSolaris. Once I get a laptop, I think I'll jump on that
little bandwagon and try it out. The project promises something that linux
can't, and that's standardization. By organizing users into focusing on one
distribution they hope that one day they may challenge the Goliaths known as
Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. I'm personally interested in trying out
OpenSolaris because I see it's potential as an OS and the Solaris platform is
great for DTrace, which is a technology I've been waiting patiently to try out.
I'll keep the two of you posted on what's happening with OpenSolaris and if you
want to know more check out my sidebar.

That's it for today, goodnight and goodluck.
