Hangout for experimental confirmation and demonstration of software, computing, and networking. The exercises don't always work out. The professor is a bumbler and the laboratory assistant is a skanky dufus.

All Right, Now What?

All Right, Now What?

This is the inaugural posting to Professor von Clueless in the Blunder Dome. Professor What?  The cleverest album title I know is Baron von Tollbooth and the Chromium Nun.  So, when I had the itch to move my clueless exploits to their own blog, it seemed like the right thing. Blunder Dome?  There are two reasons for that choice.  The first has to do with Mad Max and my admiration for Tina Turner's music.  Although I once thought of signing up for a MTV raffle for a date with Tina in London, the inner dork raised the obvious question: What if you win?  I didn't apply.  Clueless, right? Uh, Blunder?  Well, it is all in honor of causticTech (caution: strong language ranting), since I fit his profile of disdain so closely:

• Enterprise this!  Yup, I use "enterprise." I use it as a noun.  I don't verb it much ... well, I just did, didn't I?
• Architect.  Yup, I say I am a system architect.  I don't think it takes a great codesmith to be an architect.  That might even be a hindrance.  You'll see that von Clueless has no limitation on that score.
• SOA, Web Services, and Best Practices.  Gee, seem perfectly good to me.  And I do tend to favor "benchmark" and "best-of-breed" too.
• Oh, and I love my kakhis.

I notice that I am more sensitive about this than I thought.  Hmm, a little clueless embarassment perhaps.  The causticTech rants are very funny. OK, what goes here?  The topic is all of the fumbling around that it takes to confirm and make repeatable anything to do with having a computer jump up and fetch the ball without running into a tree first.  It is a live-action capture on some interesting experiences, such as "and the little phish have bigger phish to bite them," only more so.  And I have to be prepared to look stupid, pursue bad ideas too far, and generally muck it up. First, I need to have this site made over.  I'll have lab rat Spanner Wingnut take a crack at that, since it is lined up with what that blog is for. Well, I wonder if we made it.  HELLO?  Hello?  Is this mike on?
