I spent another lazy weekend downloading lots of stuff using my favorite torrent software. And I love the results most of the time. I dont claim to have a very fast connection and still manage to make the maximum out of it.

As a software designer, I have often wondered (but seldom discussed) why Torrents are not being accepted so widely by corporates.

With the kind of complex implementations we see these days, and the amount of unused (or say underused) computing power lying with client desktops and remote servers, why not really make use of it?

As we approach the new year, everyone talks about what the new year has in store for us. It could be business ideas, technology, gizmos, music, entertainment etc, etc.

I work mainly in C++ and develop algorithms, data management modules for a product development software company. We also use Java, SOA, J2EE and .NET in application tier and middle tier areas.
