Deep and Blue, and Green

Inherent Quality, Software Quality, IBM, Dr. Dobb's

In many ways quality is becoming increasingly inherent. In the process so too is value. Intrinsically and pervasively, the manifestations of both are taking us to higher and deeper levels. This blog, and the book IQS, take no credit. They do however share awareness and applaud progress. For example: IBM Deep Computing Visualization and IBM System Blue Gene Solution. For several related 2007 press releases for the latter (including 4 Dec 2007, “IBM Donates Blue Gene/P Supercomputer to Spur Scientific and Socio-economic Growth in Africa”), see this page. Looking back on 2007, let’s also remember this $1 Billion IBM allocation to advance “Green” Technology and Services. Well done IBM! Congratulations on your progress and awards (e.g.).

PS: the following IBM related 2007 news shared prior on InherentQuality.Com

“After a successful operation, the reloaded Booch has a second life that now extends into a modern day matrix where he is awarded by Dr. Dobbs for excellence in programming.”

Manifestations of the computerized society

Looking through a few books of team member Michael Sharkey I came across a piece of history: Dr. Dobb’s Journal of Computer Calisthenics & Orthodontia, Running Light Without Overbyte, Volume One, 1976, People’s Computer Company, A Reference Journal for Users of Home Computers. In it on page 155, I came across Volume 1, Number 6, Page 7, which featured a story about an attorney who built his first computer, an IMSAI. The attorney in his opening paragraph stated that even his life was not un-touched by some of the “manifestations of the computerized society”. Since 1976, Dr. Dobb’s has come a long way and now of course software, technology and information touch virtually everyone. I hope you enjoy IQS; the words below are from the front cover.

For executives, professionals and all who produce, help create, purchase and see that their quality of life is touched, improved or impacted by software, technology and information.The world has been evolving since the beginning of time. As a result quality today is more so inherent. In the centuries of the future this will increasingly be the case. Related discoveries will continue to produce higher and higher levels of value, excellence and simplicity.
