Wave Fronts

Black Thursday for Engineering?

Hoping I'm wrong

  (found on the 'Net while searching for the
    real psalm. Adapted slightly.)

  ***********
  Psalm 6.111
  ***********

  The FlipFlop is my Synchronizer, I shall
   not want.
  He maketh me pipeline my whole circuit,
  He leads me to program more EPROMs,
  He restores my sanity.

  He guides me in paths of synchronicity
   for his clock's sake.
  And lo, though I walk through the valley
   of the shadow of CMOS,
  I will fear no intermediate voltages,
   for He is gated,
  His one or His zero,
   they comfort me.

  He prepares a haven for me
   in the presence of metastability,
  He annoints my design with blocks,
   my logic shall rationalize.
  Surely good reviews and no recalls will
   follow me all the days of this fiscal
   year, and I will create the right buzz
   forever.

Wishing all of you safe passage,
dear friends at Sun.

Intro

"My Name, is of No Importance"

As a kid I learned about interference and reinforcement of wave fronts and more recently I read Frank Tipler's "Anthropic Cosmological Principle" with its references to wave functions as universal expressions. Then the other day I came across a DVD of the BBC TV series "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" with its single, hilarious number "42" as the answer to, well, you know, the big question. So I expect that what I write here will, in a microscopic way, reinforce or inhibit what's going on in various areas while contributing to the really long computation that planet earth may be carrying out if Douglas Adams turns out to have been a historian...

At Sun I fix bugs.
