Actually, I am a systems programmer. +One of the problems with systems programming is explaining to +non-computer enthusiasts what that is. All of the terms I use to +describe my job are totally meaningless to them. Usually my response +to questions about my work is to say as little as possible. For +instance, if someone asks what happened at work this week, I say +"Nothing much" and then I change the subject. + +With the assistance of my brother, a mechanical engineer, I have devised +an analogy that everyone can understand. The analogy describes the +"Kingdom of Transformation" where travelers wander and are magically +transformed. This kingdom is the computer and the travelers are information. +The purpose of the computer is to change information to a more meaningful +forma. The law of conservation applies here: The computer never creates +and never intentionally destroys data. With no further ado, let us travel +to the Kingdom of Transformation: + +In a land far, far away, there is a magical kingdom called the Kingdom of +Transformation. A king rules over this land and employs a Council of +Wizardry. The main purpose of this kingdom is to provide a way for +neighboring kingdoms to transform citizens into more useful citizens. This +is done by allowing the citizens to enter the kingdom at one of its ports +and to travel any of the many routes in the kingdom. They are magically +transformed along the way. The income of the Kingdom of Transformation +comes from the many toll roads within its boundaries. + +The Kingdom of Transformation was created when several kingdoms got +together and discovered a mutual need for new talents and abilities for +citizens. They employed CTK, Inc. (Creators of Transformation, Inc.) to +create this kingdom. CTK designed the country, its transportation routes, +and its laws of transformation, and created the major highway system. + +Hazards +======= + +Because magic is not truly controllable, CTK invariably, but unknowingly, +creates dragons. Dragons are huge fire-breathing beasts which sometimes +injure or kill travelers. Fortunately, they do not travel, but always +remain near their den. + +Other hazards also exist which are potentially harmful. As the roads +become older and more weatherbeaten, pot-holes will develop, trees will +fall on travelers, etc. CTK maintenance men are called to fix these +problems. + +Wizards +======= + +The wizards play a major role in creating and maintaining the kingdom but +get little credit for their work because it is performed secretly. The +wizards do not wan the workers or travelers to learn their incantations +because many laws would be broken and chaos would result. + +CTK's grand design is always general enough to be applicable in many +different situations. As a result, it is often difficult to use. The +first duty of the wizards is to tailor the transformation laws so as to be +more beneficial and easier to use in their particular environment. + +After creation of the kingdom, a major duty of the wizards is to search for +and kill dragons. If travelers do not return on time or if they return +injured, the ruler of the country contacts the wizards. If the wizards +determine that the injury or death occurred due to the traveler's +negligence, they provide the traveler's country with additional warnings. +If not, they must determine if the cause was a road hazard or a dragon. If +the suspect a road hazard, they call in a CTK maintenance man to locate the +hazard and to eliminate it, as in repairing the pothole in the road. If +they think that cause was a dragon, then they must find and slay it. + +The most difficult part of eliminating a dragon is finding it. Sometimes +the wizard magically knows where the dragon's lair it, but often the wizard +must send another traveler along the same route and watch to see where he +disappears. This sounds like a failsafe method for finding dragons (and a +suicide mission for thr traveler) but the second traveler does not always +disappear. Some dragons eat any traveler who comes too close; others are +very picky. + +The wizards may call in CTK who designed the highway system and +transformation laws to help devise a way to locate the dragon. CTK also +helps provide the right spell or incantation to slay the dragon. (There is +no general spell to slay dragons; each dragon must be eliminated with a +different spell.) + +Because neither CTK nor wizards are perfect, spells to not always work +correctly. At best, nothing happens when the wrong spell is uttered. At +worst, the dragon becomes a much larger dragon or multiplies into several +smaller ones. In either case, new spells must be found. + +If all existing dragons are quiet (i.e. have eaten sufficiently), wizards +have time to do other things. They hide in castles and practice spells and +incatations. They also devise shortcuts for travelers and new laws of +transformation. + +Changes in the Kingdom +====================== + +As new transformation kingdoms are created and old ones are maintained, +CTK, Inc. is constantly learning new things. It learns ways to avoid +creating some of the dragons that they have previously created. It also +discovers new and better laws of transformation. As a result, CTK will +periodically create a new grand design which is far better than the old. +The wizards determine when is a good time to implement this new design. +This is when the tourist season is slow or when no important travelers +(VIPs) are to arrive. The kingdom must be closed for the actual +implementation and is leter reopened as a new and better place to go. + +A final question you might ask is what happens when the number of tourists +becomes too great for the kingdom to handle in a reasonable period of time +(i.e., the tourist lines at the ports are too long). The Kingdom of +Transformation has three options: (1) shorten the paths that a tourist must +travel, or (2) convince CTK to develop a faster breed of horses so that the +travelers can finish sooner, or (3) annex more territories so that the +kingdom can handle more travelers. + +Thus ends the story of the Kingdom of Transformation. I hope this has +explained my job to you: I slay dragons for a living. + +# +#should do an automatic undivert.. +# |
