Read an Excerpt
When my father died in 1956--six weeks after making me head of IBM--I was the most frightened man in America. For ten years he had groomed me to succeed him, and I had been the young man in a hurry, eager to take over, cocky and impatient. Now, suddenly, I had the job--but what I didn't have was Dad there to back me up. I'd heard so many stories about sons of prominent men failing in business, and I could imagine their devastation at finding themselves unable to fill their fathers' shoes. I worried I'd end up the same way, but after my father had been dead a year I announced to my wife: "I've made it through twelve months without the old boy around! "
I went another year, and then another. The computer era was beginning and IBM was able to capitalize on it: while I was chief executive the company grew more than tenfold. I like to think that Father would have been impressed with the $7.5 billion-a-year business I left behind when I resigned in 1971. He had always predicted it would someday be the biggest business on earth.
I was so intimately entwined with my father. I had a compelling desire, maybe out of honor for the old gentleman, maybe out of sheer cussedness, to prove to the world that I could excel the same way he did. I never declared myself winner in that contest, because many of my decisions were based on policies and practices learned at his knee. But I think I was at least successful enough that people could say I was the worthy son of a worthy father.
It could have turned out very differently. The kind of privileged upbringing I had--private school, world travel, wealth--often leads to disaster for a son. I knew I was supposed to follow in myfather's footsteps, but I did not see how that was possible. I was in awe of the man, yet we both had such hot tempers that it was hard for me to be in the same room with him, much less try to learn from him how to run a company.
I didn't have much motivation as a youth. At Brown University, I spent so much time flying airplanes and fooling around that I barely graduated. In the yearbook you had to have a line next to your photograph. The only thing in mine was the name of the prep school I'd gone to. There was nothing else to say. I had no distinctions, no successes of my own, and only a vague notion of how to be sympathetic and understanding to others. I was totally qualified to be either a playboy or an airplane bum.
If it hadn't been for World War II, I might never have become my own man. After 1939 my favorite recreation, flying, suddenly became serious business. I joined the Air Force as a pilot and learned to be responsible for an airplane full of men. The military took me far outside my father's influence, and by 1943 I had made it to lieutenant colonel. Though I never got promoted beyond that, I came back from the war confident, for the first time, that I might be capable of running IBM. But I'd been so unimpressive before the war that it was hard for my father to believe it. It took him years to convince himself that I'd changed, and I don't think he was ever completely sure. You can see that in the photograph of us that appeared in the New York Times when he turned IBM over to me. It shows us in our pin-striped suits, shaking hands in front of a bookcase. On my face is a look of great self-assurance and I'm obviously enjoying the occasion tremendously; but on Dad's face there is a faint, uncertain smile.
He ran IBM for forty-two years and I ran it for fifteen--all told, nearly six decades of Watson management. My job was to lead the company into the computer business, but it was he who put IBM on the map. By the time I joined the Air Force he had built the business from almost nothing to revenues of nearly forty million dollars a year. IBM was still really an insignificant part of the American industrial scene, but thanks to T.J.'s genius for selling, it was fast growing and highly profitable, and it attracted a lot of attention. Father knew how to project an image as well as any salesman who ever lived. At the New York World's Fair of 1939 there was a General Motors Day, a General Electric Day, and an IBM Day--two elephants and a gnat all getting the same treatment. We even had Mayor La Guardia as our guest at the Fair. President Franklin Roosevelt, whose confidant Father had become, sent a greeting by telegram.
During the ten years after World War II Father taught me his business secrets as we worked together. It was a stormy relationship. In public he would praise me lavishly, and I'd hear from other people the nice things he was saying about my shrewdness and brains and talent as a manager. But in private Father and I had terrible fights that led us again and again to the brink of estrangement. These arguments would frequently end in tears, me in tears and Dad in tears.
We fought about every major issue of the business--how to finance IBM's growth, whether to settle or fight a federal antitrust suit, what role in IBM other members of our family ought to play. From around 1950 my goal--one of the things on which we never saw eye to eye--was to push into computers as fast as possible. That meant hiring engineers by the thousands and spending dollars by the tens of millions for new factories and labs. The risk made Dad balk, even though he sensed the enormous potential of electronics as early as I did.
When I finally took over I was excited about change. Computing was a brand-new industry, and I always felt that if IBM didn't grab the opportunity, somebody else would. So we taught ourselves to ride a runaway horse, expanding on a scale that no company has ever matched. We grew so fast that some years we had to cope with the problem of training twenty thousand or more new employees.
I kept myself where employees could see me, out in front, setting a fast pace. I had learned from my father that by seizing opportunities for dramatic action--personally answering an employee's complaint, slashing the price of a new computer that failed to perform as promised--I could set an example of how IBM should do business. At the same time I had yearnings outside the company that would have been hard for my father to understand. In the top drawer of my desk I kept a list of adventures, like climbing the Matterhorn and retracing the South Sea voyages of Captain Cook, for which I simply had no time.
All that changed in 1970, when I had a heart attack. I was only fifty-six, and I think many executives would have been back in the office before their triple-bypass scars had even healed. But my experience at the hospital changed my life.
I had a chest pain in the middle of the night and drove myself to the emergency room. They put me on a monitor, but early the next morning I stopped the doctor and said, "Look, I've got to get out of here. My best friend is dead and I've got to go to his funeral, then I have to fly right out and give the inaugural address at the Mayo Clinic medical school, then--" He told me, "You're not going anywhere. You're having a heart attack." They moved me into intensive care.
The doctor, Mark Newberg, was someone I grew to like very much. Over the next three weeks we had long discussions, and finally one morning he looked me right in the eye and said, "Why don't you get out of IBM right now? I think you've proved just about everything you can up there."
He left. I didn't want any lunch, it was such a shock. By dinnertime I started thinking about the responsibilities I'd carried for so many years and all the things I could do outside business. The next morning I woke up at dawn and got a cup of coffee at the nurses' station. When I got back to my room, sunlight was streaming in the window and I felt better than I had in decades. It was as if somebody had lifted a heavy pack off my back.
Before I left the hospital I told the people at IBM that I was thinking of getting out. The board of directors did everything in the world to keep me in the company. They came to me individually and as a group. But I knew I was doing the right thing. I wanted to live more than I wanted to run IBM. It was a choice my father never would have made, but I think he would have respected it.
This is the story of my father and myself, of my years alone at IBM's helm, and of what I've done since leaving the company. Father and I played out our rivalry and our love for each other in the great American business that he created. I helped build it and then left it behind me twenty years ago. Along the way I learned a great deal about power: being subject to it, striving for it, inheriting it, wielding it, and letting it go. I learned lessons for fathers who have dreams for their children and for children burdened with parental expectations. Lots of sons ask me if they should follow their fathers into business. My answer is: If you can stand it, do it.
Chapter One
In the spring of 1987, not long after celebrating my seventy-third birthday, I took my helicopter out to follow the scenes of my childhood. I went by myself, the way I often fly when there is something that I want to see. Helicopters are noisy and sometimes hard to handle, but they can take you exactly where you feel like going. You can land on a flat rock only ten feet by ten feet far out in the sea, or tuck into a garden behind the house of a friend. On that spring day I wanted to learn what remained of the world in which I was raised.
I flew down the Hudson River alongside Manhattan, swinging west off Broad Street, where my father would catch the ferry after work. On the New Jersey side of the river Dad would get on a train. I followed the railroad west over the rolling hills and fields of New Jersey, where he'd ride talking politics with other early suburbanites like Malcolm Muir, the founder of Business Week magazine, and Andre Fouilhoux, an architectural engineer who was one of the chief designers of Rockefeller Center.
I spent my boyhood in the village of Short Hills, twenty miles from New York. In the 1920s it was a fashionable little community populated mainly by the families of commuters like Dad, called "downtown men." It had a train station, an Episcopal church, a private school and a public school, and the houses were large and set on three- or five-acre tracts. It was easy for me to spot the big gabled place where I grew up. It sits on top of a low hill, a near duplicate of our first house on that site, the one my father accidentally burned to the ground. It happened when I was five, and Dad was still in his early days of struggle and debt. The fire started when he was trying to demonstrate the use of a fireplace. He became very conscious of fireproofing after that; the roof of today's house is made out of slate.
In back of the house we'd had chicken coops, a big vegetable garden, and a pony corral; all of those were gone now. But I saw the long winding driveway where my mother taught me to drive a car when I was eleven. Nearby I spotted the two ponds that were a big part of my boyhood. That part of New Jersey was so rural in those days that right near our town there were people who made a living running traplines in the local swamps. No one lived around those ponds when we moved in. There was only a big wooden icehouse, where horse-drawn sleds would haul huge blocks of ice in the winter. When I was eleven or twelve, my friends and I used to take girls behind the icehouse to play kissing games.
I wanted to set the helicopter down and walk around. But now the banks of the ponds are covered with houses and there was no place to land. So I climbed up and flew out along the winding road we used to drive to get to Dad's country place: a farm he bought in 1927 when he was feeling the first flush of wealth after running IBM for thirteen years. The farm, which we called Hills and Dales, was near the town of Oldwick, twenty miles west of Short Hills. I found Oldwick quite easily, but when I looked for Hills and Dales outside the town, there were so many highways and corporate headquarters that I never found it.
In Short Hills I was known as Terrible Tommy Watson. Whenever there was trouble, I seemed to be involved. Youthful rebellion was not in fashion in the 1920s, so I was not at all popular. Most of the kids in my school could see that at the slightest opportunity I would goof off, and none of them thought I would amount to a hill of beans. I had only a handful of friends. The other kids thought they were superior. Worse still, I was very sensitive about the fact that they avoided me.
When I was ten a friend named Joe and I were fooling around near a house being worked on in our neighborhood. The door to the screen porch was open and we could see cans of paint and brushes and turpentine. We took a couple of cans and somehow ended up painting a street.
Mother asked us about this and we confessed that the paint was stolen. She had lectured me before about swiping things, to no avail, and I think this time she decided that unless she did something dramatic, I was going to end up a felon. Usually Mother was mild and sweet tempered, but if she thought things were getting out of hand, she would move with real force. So she took us to the police station. She must have called the chief beforehand. He shook our hands and said "It's nice to see you. I want to tell you about who we have locked up here. We have people in here for murder and robbery, but most of the people who come in are petty thieves."
Our eyes were wide open by this time. They had a thing in this police station such as I've never seen since: a stand-up cage about half the size of a telephone booth. The front would swing open, you'd straddle a bar, and they'd lock you in; It must have been for questioning suspects. You could move a little bit but you couldn't get out. I remember the feeling of that. Then the chief took us to the back and put us in a cell.
"Once you're in jail, it's a terrible place to be," he said. "Most people turn into repeat offenders, and then there goes your life." I dreamt about it afterward: getting caught and going to jail when I hadn't done anything wrong.
Mother really had her hands full with us. She married late, at age twenty-nine, and then had four children in the space of six years--me, my sisters Jane and Helen, and Arthur, whom everybody called Dick. Even though I was the oldest, Mother did not expect me to help look after my brother and sisters, so I was pretty much on my own as a boy. I loved Dick, but he was too young to be an interesting companion. Helen, the second youngest, was always a cozy friend. If she saw me with a bag of stolen candy, she'd want to know what it was, but I could always trust her to clam up around our parents. My relationship with Jane, who was closest to me in age, was more difficult. She would sometimes join in one of my escapades, but then she'd feel guilty and confess to Dad, getting me in trouble. Worse, Jane was Father's favorite. He went far out of his way to accommodate her and she always called him by the odd name "My Joy" instead of Daddy or Father. This started as an endearment, but she kept it up as long as she lived. Mother thought it was inappropriate for Dad to play favorites, but there was very little she could do about that relationship.
The fact that I wasn't Dad's favorite did not surprise me. From very early in my life I was convinced that I had something missing. I was never able to connect completely with what other people were doing. There is a film of my first-grade play in 1921, photographed by my father. The boys were all dressed as bumblebees and the movie shows us buzzing in and out among little girls dressed as flowers. I'm the tallest, long boned and ungainly, and you can spot me easily: while the other boys all have their wings neatly spread and pinned, mine are flapping around, all awry. I keep reaching back trying to set them straight.
My lack of polish didn't seem to hinder my father, who was on the rise in Short Hills society. He joined the tennis club, the school board, and the board of directors of the local bank, and may have been the only man in Short Hills who took his family to Europe every other summer, albeit on business. Dad quickly became a pillar of the Short Hills Episcopal church in spite of his roots as a humble Methodist. A few families saw him as nouveau riche and turned up their noses, but most of our neighbors admired Dad.
He was a tall man, unathletic but fairly lean, and always impeccably attired. When we were very young he knew how to loosen up and have fun with us. I have films of him dressed in his three-piece suit marching with us and tooting a horn in a backyard parade. Dad loved to ham it up when our aunts and uncles and cousins visited for Sunday dinner. Sometimes he'd disappear upstairs with Mother and she'd help him struggle into one of her dresses. He'd come tottering down the stairs all decked out in a hat and veil and high-heeled shoes, clinging to the banister on one side with Mother steadying him on the other. When I was little I thought he was the liveliest father imaginable. But for some reason his playfulness gradually diminished, and by the time I was ten or eleven Dad acted quite formal and aloof. This loss of warm companionship made me sad, but looking back I think the cause was mainly age. Dad was thirty-nine by the time I was born, and the fact that he was ten years older than most other boys' fathers made it difficult for us to be pals. He wasn't one to come out and play ball, or invite me for a hike around the local reservoir.
Father must have known he had an uncontrollable temper that might feed on itself, because when there was punishing to be done he made Mother do it. These punishments became a sort of ritual. I would go up with the two of them to their big white-tiled bathroom. Father would stand over near his basin to observe, I would hold onto a towel rack, and Mother would do the switching.
I quickly developed a sense of what is fair and just, which these punishments, to my mind, sometimes were not. I'll never forget one switching I got when I was ten. It was March, the snow was melting, and my parents had given me new rubber boots. I rushed right out of the house and, to test the boots, stepped down into a hole that had water in it. It was deeper than I thought and water poured in over the tops. Mother and Dad insisted that I had soaked myself on purpose. Soon I was facing the towel rack, thinking I was getting rooked.
Switchings didn't stop me from getting into trouble, however. The following winter I kept asking Father for a leather coat. They made double-breasted leather coats for kids in those days that came down to about mid-thigh. Finally my father presented one to me, with great pride, for my eleventh birthday. Coming home from school the next day, some buddies and I made a fire--it's fascinating to make fires when you're young. I'd been reading about Indians and smoke signals, so I took that beautiful leather coat that had been on my back only once and used it with another guy to make signals from the fire. Then I tried to clean it up and couldn't. There were big burns all through it. I felt awful about what I'd done, but that made no difference when I told my parents. They switched me anyway.
Life didn't go much better for me at school. My brother and sisters and I went to Short Hills Country Day School, a rustic-looking turn-of-the-century brick-and-shingle structure within walking distance of our house. The curriculum was conventional and not very demanding, and in most classes I would watch the clock. The school clocks came from Father--IBM had a time division, and he donated a system that rang the bells to change classes. There was a master clock in the headmaster's office and classroom clocks throughout the building. These did not move smoothly from one minute to the next. They would stay on 9:04 until the main clock got to 9:05; then they'd all go CLICK CLICK and move up one minute. It would get to 2:56, and I'd be thinking "Just eight more clicks and I get out of here."
My report cards were always a jumble of Ds and Fs with an occasional A or B. I learned much better by doing than by reading, probably because words on a page seemed to swim around whenever I tried to read. It was years before I learned how to compensate for whatever flaw in my vision kept me from reading normally. In school, deportment was the area in which I really stood out--my conduct marks were the worst. You could get fifty demerits a semester at Short Hills Country Day School without being thrown out; I'd always have more than thirty and sometimes more than forty. To work off demerits you had to run laps around the building on Saturdays, in full view of passersby. I sometimes had to run fifty laps while other people were doing ten.
For some reason, being punished only drove me to greater mischief. When I was about twelve, I met Craig Kingsbury, an outdoorsman type, not much older than I, who went trapping in a nearby swamp. I sought him out for advice about how to skin a squirrel I had shot. When he mentioned that he sometimes skinned skunks it didn't take me an instant to zero in. "What do you do with the stink glands?" I asked. It turned out that Kingsbury knew how to extract skunk juice and put it in bottles. I bought some from him.
At school just before assembly I sneaked down to the furnace and examined the ducts going off in various directions. I thought that if you put something in the main vent it would spread through the whole building. So I dumped in the entire bottle, ran upstairs, and went to the assembly hall. A hundred kids were sitting there, along with the teachers and the headmaster, Mr. Lance, a straitlaced disciplinarian who knew me well.
There was a terrible stink, and the longer we sat the worse the stink got. Finally Mr. Lance said, "Is there anyone who knows anything about this detestable smell?"
There was a long silence. We had an honor system, so eventually I raised my hand.
"Watson! "
"Yes, sir."
"Stand up!"
"Yes, sir."
"What do you know about this?"
I explained what I'd done, how I'd gotten the skunk juice and I pulled the bottle out of my pocket to show him. Everyone backed away a little.
Then the teachers opened all the windows and tried to fan out the smell. Finally Mr. Lance decided the school had to close. It was my moment of ultimate triumph. Whatever happened to me as a result was worth it.
Mr. Lance didn't know how to deal with me. His first idea was to tie the empty skunk-juice bottle around my neck. But that was too minor a punishment, because I was getting used to the smell by then and it didn't bother me very much.
His next move was more effective. There was a school board meeting that night. Mr. Lance waited until it convened and then described my transgression--to the chagrin of my father who was on the board.
By the time he got home Dad was in a fury. He began by saying it was wrong for me to have forced the school to close thereby depriving my sisters and other honest children of the opportunity to learn. Father never struck me, but this time he came close and I bolted. He chased me and roared, "I don't need to discipline you! The world will discipline you, you little skunk!"

My wife and I have had two dinners here when visiting her family in Bamberg. This last time we have had a seven course meal for our cousins Birthday.
Both times we have been here we have had a great meal. The food and service were excellent.
Anything you may expect from a restaurant in a small city like Bamberg, you can definitely find in Fellini. I have been there a couple of times. I am highly impressed by the taste of both appetizers and main dishes. Moreover the quality of service and the peacefulness of the atmosphere take the eating experience to the top. I have...
Amazing Italian restaurant, best food ever. Romantic atmosphere and attentive staff. A must-visit!
White table cloths and beautiful view over Bamberg. A bit difficult to stumble over if you're not a local. But well worth the effort.
Like most of small towns Bamberg offers a small gem in eating choices. I follow the reviews of other persons in trip advisor and decided to go there. Most of good critics are right! Very friendly and professional stuff with a great chef.
Pasta is great and the steaks are from very good quality of meat and cooked exactly as...
We were a group of six adults dining relatively late on a Monday evening. Milan, our server, took great care to suggest wines we would like (we loved them) and even made a slight substitution to one of the specials (crab vs lobster) when the lobster ran out. Try the truffle ravioli and the veal scallopini as well, both were...
Fellini's food is very good and the service is excellent. Our antipasta starter was excellent and the chef had put great thought into making it tasty and innovative. The mains are also very good. I was disappointed that the house red wine was not available and suspected was to try and make you buy the more expensive wines on the...
Following some mostly positive reviews we decided to give Fellini's a try. The restaurant was also a convenient short walk from our Hotel. We were not disappointed. Our waiter Milano was very entertaining and we were treated to excellent warm service. This was a delightful, home made, authentic Italian experience. Fresh seasonal products coupled with the regular pasta favourites, the...
Especially the service was unfriendly, we needed to wait at least one hour for the meal and on top they took away the plates before everybody was finished. We will not got there for a second time because on this price level you get better performing restaurants in Bamberg like Francesco. What I should not forget is that the taste...
This place is a MUST to visit! Not only is the food authentic "home" made Italian, but the presentation is something else! You are in for a treat! It has a relaxed and stylish setting, the staff is polite, attentive but not overbearing and not fake-kind. Milan, our waiter spoke Croatian, Italian, perfect German and English; he advised, recommended, but...
My experience at Fellini was nothing short of outstanding. The food was with a doubt delicious, which, together with the ambiance, transported me back to my vacation in Italy. The service is very personalized; the staff members are extremely polite and after dining there just once before, they remembered my choice of wine. Now I'm a regular :)
I would...

Carolinas area racing tracks are gearing up for the 2017 season.
Carolina Speedway in Gastonia, N.C., will hold practice Saturday from 1-5 p.m.
- Carolina Speedway, located on 6355 Union Raod (Hwy 274) Gastonia, N.C., is holding practice for any race car division.
Today I bring you some thoughts from Jon Butzon, who has spent years working to improve and reform education in South Carolina. He believes that not only should we have great schools but we can have great schools for every child in South Carolina. Here is what he thinks we should do.
There is no waltzing around it. K-12 public education in South Carolina is not working.
This is a copy of an e-mail I just sent to Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.:
I am a California native, a Democrat, a retired teacher, and have lived in South Carolina for 9.5 years.
Usually you and I are not anywhere on the same page. However, in the last week I have changed my mind. I appreciate that you are saying that the Gen. Flynn debacle calls for investigation and that if the shoe were on the other foot, Republicans would be calling for the same thing the Democrats are.
The University of South Carolina Lancers took two of three games from visiting Brunswick Community College, N.C., over the weekend at the Lancaster High School baseball field.
The Lancers won the first two games, but fell in the Sunday finale, 6-0.
USCL won 12-3, 7-6 on Saturday, but the visiting BCC Dolphins snapped the Lancers' win streak at nine games with the shutout win.
USCL swept Catawba College Community College, 4-0 to open the season Jan. 28-29 in Hickory, N.C.
Parker Track Club meeting
The Columbus Parker Track Club will hold an organizational meeting March 2 at 6 p.m. at 117 South Wylie Street.
The meeting will include registration. Any athlete planning to join the team after finishing the high school track season, should plan to attend the meeting.
For more details on the meeting, call coach Arthur Benjamin at (803) 283-3606, or email Tina Shaw at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Gamecock Club to host Muschamp
The University of South Carolina Lancaster Lancers baseball team has started a new streak.
After having a nine-game winning streak snapped in a 6-0 home loss to Brunswick Community College (N.C.) Sunday, USCL rebounded to notch a pair of home wins over the Limestone College junior varsity baseball team Wednesday.
The Lancers, 11-1, prevailed 8-4 and 13-5 at the Lancaster High School baseball field.
In the four-run win in the opener, the Lancers had eight hits, with Nick Cicci leading the way with three, including two solo home runs, and a pair of RBIs.
Editor's note: The S.C. Press Association sent this thank you to Rep. Mandy Powers Norrell of Lancaster.
On behalf of the newspapers of your district and the entire state, I want to thank you for voting in Tuesday's Judiciary Committee meeting to send H. 3352, the freedom of information reform bill, on to the House floor for a vote.
We especially appreciate that you added your name as a sponsor of the FOI bill and spoke up in response to concerns about H. 3352.
Last winter, the Committee to Incorporate Van Wyck, which I chaired, began advocating for the incorporation of Van Wyck as a defense against the involuntary annexation of Van Wyck by the proposed Town of Indian Land.
KERSHAW – People want to get paid for the work they do.
Kershaw Town Officials have shifted $100,000 from one town account to another to make sure Corbett Construction – the company that's installing a new 6,000-foot-long water line along Church Street – gets its money in a timely fashion.
The water line is part of an ongoing $2.23 million project that ties Haile Gold Mine to the town's water system.
Two weeks ago, the S.C. Senate passed a bill that would lay the groundwork for the governor to appoint the state superintendent of education — making the Department of Education a cabinet agency and fully accountable to the governor. The bill has yet to pass the House, but a similar bill passed the House last session.

Outdoor activity clubs for international students
Hi! I'm an international student at Groningen university who is really interested in outdoor activities. Back in English I went to Scouts for many years and even became a leader. I miss all the activities and fun we used to have, so I was wondering if there is a similar thing here for international students. Unfortunately my Dutch is not good enough to join a Dutch speaking group, so really the association would need to speak English. I am trying really hard to improve my Dutch though. So basically what I am looking for is an English speaking outdoors activity group, if anyone can help me I would be very appreciative. Thanks!

Museum location
I have visited Uithuizen and Uithuizermeeden several times, having had friends who lived in the area. The entire area is most beautiful, and if I could live in Holland (which is on my Bucket List), it would have to be Uithuizen or Uithuizermeeden. One of the places I visited was a small WWII museum, but I can't remember which town it was in. I remember it was in a very beautiful neighbourhood, with tree-lined streets, and immaculate houses, and the museum itself was nearly tree-covered. The museum had a mannequin of a Canadian soldier, whose uniform was that of a Royal Canadian Corps of Signals soldier. Can you tell me whether it is in "jou dorp of in Uithuizen".

Requirements and Use Cases. SMS Notification System.
(3 votes, average: 3.67 out of 5)
I've graduated in March 2010 and I don't need to visit university any more. However, I enjoyed studying there and I know what challenges my fellow students-programmers have. That's why I continue the job started this autumn – computer club, we call it "Geeks' Club". Sure, we're not true geeks there, but we tend to be So I'm helping students who're interested in webtechnologies and in object-oriented programming. I explain them things that are not covered in the standard university course. Things, that are more practical and they can be paid money for. Here I'll be covering both OOP and web-dev, but we'll start from design hence OOP. The story began when some time passed after we started learning OOP at the club meetings and I decided that there is enough theory and separate examples, it's time to build something practical that will be challenging for me too. I thought of different systems, but finally decided to pick up the SMS notification one. It requires both user interface, database, API (my friends want to communicate to it from standalone Java and C++ applications) and overall application design. In addition, I'd like such system to be deployed at our university and it is interesting for me to create one.
This is going to be a series of articles, I'll describe the progress and challenges we come across as we proceed with development. I think this kind of posts will be interesting for those who study OOP and want to apply what they've learned to some practical things. I'll try to guide my students through the process using the iterative development methodology. We have meetings once a week (on Saturdays), so I'll post once or twice a week, depending on amount of work done on weekends and my free time during the week.
I think, this series will contain around 10 posts. We're going to share the work done as an opensource project. There is nothing to share at the moment, so I'll give the link when we code something
System overview
Obviously, the main purpose of the system is to send SMS notifications to students or tutors. These notifications may be quite different – from the timetable changes to some announcements or even warnings (e.g. "Due to the weather conditions, today is a day-off for all. Stay at home and have a good time"). Actually the system isn't that complex. Basically all it needs to do is to enable administrator pick a group of users, enter the message and send it through the SMS gateway. The tricky things start from "pick a group of users". We want this to be as flexible as possible so we could use this system not only for university, but any other organization.
University structure
This is obvious to anyone who studied at the university in Ukraine, Russia and former USSR, but I'm not sure the structure is the same abroad. So we have the university. There are faculties (e.g. Computer Science, Philology etc). These faculties have specialties. For example, Computer Science faculty has 2 specialties – "Intellectual Systems of Decision-Making" (mine) and "Computer Engineering". (For those interested about the difference, first one deals more with AI technologies while the latter – with system programming, networks etc). Next level is "course". We call it so, but actually that is the year of study. I know, there are special words for the 1st year students, for the 2nd etc. Here we just say "I'm on the first course". That means "I'm studying the first year". All students that study the same specialty and are on the same course are called "Stream". This is literal translation and I'm sure there is some more correct term. I'd be thankful if someone posts it in comments. There are 2-4 groups in the "stream". In our university they are names as follows: 101, 102, 103 etc. First number is course. In this case it is the first one. Second number is the faculty code. 0 is for computer science. And the third number is the group number. Thus 102 is the second group of first-year students studying Computer Science. I realize that not all universities name groups like this, so we don't want to stick to such naming in our product. Now let's go through the tutors and staff. There is a rector of a university. There are deans for every faculty. And all tutors are grouped by departments. Usually, departments relate to the faculty, but that's not a rule. For example, on our faculty we have Department of Higher Mathematics, Department of Intellectual systems ans some others. One tutor usually belongs to one department.
In addition, there are different clubs for students like our "Geeks' Club", translators' "Pickwick Club" etc. Some of these clubs (like ours) have departments (Web-development, OOP, Java, C++, Delphi, Administration etc). We want to be able to filter users using all the above groups plus some more user-specific filters like age or gender. Let's go through the planned features now.
User perspective
First of all, user can log in. User should enter his phone number and password. We'll possibly add additional security for administrators. If administrator logs in, he enters his phone and password, but then a dynamic password is sent to his phone. And he completes login procedure only after he enters this dynamic password. We're not sure if we'll implement this. Your comments are welcome! Next, user can edit his profile. He'll have the following fields there:
Phone Email Password (and confirmation) Name, surname, patronymic Gender Birthday ICQ Faculty Course (1st year, 2nd year etc) Group Clubs user is member of Any tags user assigns to himself (e.g. "musician")
Plus user should check the option "receive SMS". However, user can't edit phone directly because we'll have to confirm it. So instead of giving him the field in the profile editing form, we'd rather give him a button or a link which will bring him a from where he puts new phone number and password. After that a dynamic password is sent to his phone via SMS and he enters this dynamic password and phone is updated. Finally, user may register. When registering, he enters nearly the same data as when editing profile, but there is a dynamic password sent to him in order to confirm the phone number. All these screens are shown below.
User area screens
Group Administrator perspective
Group administrator role may be assigned to the club's leader, to the group monitor (or it's better to say headman? What sound more "English"), to the tutor or headmaster. Basically everyone who needs to send notifications will have this role.
So, this type of users can do the same as the simple user plus searching users, sending email notifications and viewing statistics. Each group administrator will be limited to the groups he may view/notify. For example, headmaster can notify anyone. Tutor may notify all groups of students he tutors in. Group monitor may notify all students within his/her group. Listing users and searching through them is done in the same screen. In the main part of the screen there is a list of users that are in the groups available to the group administrator. In the left side there is a "narrow search" panel which lists all filters that can be applied to the current set of users. Clicking the filter option (e.g. "Geeks' Club") lists all users that fall into the current filter conditions. And it also refreshes the filtering options. For example, if there is no girls in the "Geeks' Club" then there is no point to show these option in the filter. This is harder to code, but it will bring excellent user experience. In the right hand side there will be the "saved searches" panel. When you applied some searching criteria, you may save it with some label so you can quickly access this search in the future. Were going to create standard searches in addition to filtering to simplify the system's usage. This works as following. For example, you can view all Computer Faculty. But you need only girls from the Geeks' Club. So you filter by gender and then by club. And save this search as "Girls-geeks" This immediately appears in the right "saved searches" panel. These saved searched may be group-specific and user-specific. This basically means that when group admin saves search, he may select if he wants it to be private or he wants to share this search with other group administrators, who have access to the same groups as he does. We think, this will help users creating the searches that they really need. Sure, saved searched may be easily removed. In the right side there will be also a "Send notification" panel. It will contain only textarea field and a "send" button. When you have your group ready, you type the message an click "send". It asks for confirmation, displaying how much it would cost and sends it over. Another page in the Group administrator's perspective is statistics. Here he'll see how much messages he sent during the last day/week/month/overall and how much did it cost. As we progress with development, we may add some settings, that will be the third page then. Here's the filtering screen:
Filter users screen Statistics screen is pretty straightforward, so we'll omit it here.
Administrator's perspective
Administrator is almost god here He can manage users, assign rights to the group administrators, set limits of SMS count, view logs and overall statistics. Users management screen will be nearly the same as filtering, with the only difference that when clicking the row with user's you'll see the profile screen with additional options:
ban/unban delete phone editing does not require confirmation administrator of (group selection) notifications limit
Logs and statistics screens are quite simple too.
Use cases
After analyzing the above overview, we come up with the following use case diagram. It is pretty self-explanatory and written after the description above, so it is useful only as a summary.
SMS Notification Use Cases Following the iterative development methodology, we should describe all usecases now, but I find this quite useless. After describing all usecases briefly, we should select 10% critical usecases and describe them in full. Full description includes the sequence of actions taken in the main success scenario and all alternative scenarios that may happen (e.g. DB error, connection failure, no users found etc). This is useful sometimes, but I think that for such simple application as this one, we ma skip this step either.
What is really useful about the iterative development at this stage is that it recommends picking 10% of the most critical usecases and start implementing them in full. By "critical" I usually mean those which may result in essential DB structure or application design changes. In our case there are 14 usecases.10% is 1.4 usecase. Let's pick only one. The most critical usecase, that affects all the application design and DB structure is the user filtering. The success of an application depend on the stability and usability of this feature. So we should code it efficiently and then move to the other usecases. I like this approach cause it is much more practical than designing the system from the interface. Changing interfaces and adopting them to core is much more simple and has less risk than doing vice versa. So we decided to start with user filtering. The first thing we should create is the database structure. This will be covered in the tomorrow's post. I'd like to learn your opinion on all that. Maybe you can propose some better interface, or some nice filtering approach or just some idea for this. We're open to all suggestions and comments!

061707 Salvaged from the Point, originally uploaded by biffybeans.
Ever stay up too late and try too hard to create art? It's even worse for me when I'm feeling hormonal. On this night, I was watching a documentary on HBO called "Hookers at the Point," about prostitutes in Atlantic City. I had seen it before, and it always makes me sad. I started out with this one - way too much paint and ended up frustrated that it looked too much like my other recent painting. I had been working on it for a long time and I was ready to throw it in the garbage. In frustration, I started throwing water on it - the colors started to run, and I wiped the whole painting from left to right with a paper towel and what shows here in the background is what was left.
Still not sure what to make of it, I poked at it randomly with the end of a paintbrush dipped in China White.
The next day, the white circles had faded and were hard to see. I took a permanent marker (that kept running out) and drew the suns around the dots. Then I filled in the centers with a watersoluable crayon. Picked up another crayon and did the purple squiggles. Picked up my waterbrush and wet those spots so they blended like paint.
I put the painting aside and didn't look at it til the next day. I was quite surprised that it turned out as well as it did considering it almost went in the trash.

Isaiah 23International Children's Bible (ICB)
God's Message to Lebanon
23 The message about Tyre:
You ships of Tarshish, cry!
4 Sidon, be ashamed.
6 You ships should return to Tarshish.
15 At that time people will forget about Tyre for 70 years. That is the length of a king's life. After 70 years, Tyre will be like the prostitute in this song:
16 "Oh woman, you are forgotten.
17 After 70 years the Lord will deal with Tyre. Tyre will again have trade. It will be like a prostitute for all the nations of the earth. 18 The profits will be saved for the Lord. Tyre will not keep the money she earns. It will give them to the people who serve the Lord. So they will have plenty of food and nice clothes.

This morning, the Mets held a groundbreaking ceremony for their new ballpark named CitiField. The name, of course, is derived from CitiGroup, the company that purchased naming rights from the Mets for a cool $20 million per year.
At first I was outraged that my Mets would sell out and become the first New York team to play in a corporate sponsored stadium. However, over time, I've come to terms with the cold, harsh reality that money rules the world. I'm also making my way towards the point of embracing the cold, harsh reality that money rules the world. I'm thinking, why stop at stadiums?
If I were a company, I'd inquire about buying naming rights from Major League Baseball for Major League Baseball. Imagine Starbucks League Baseball where the Starbucks World Series is played between the winner of the Caffeinated League (obviously the new name for the American League what with its DH and all) and the Decaffeinated League.
How about signage on the bases? The catcher would set up behind Home Depot Plate. The batter would hit the ball and run to First National Bank Base, then onto Buick presents Second Base and he'll slide safely into 3Com Base for a triple.
I would also want to buy naming rights to the players. I'd sign up these players right out of high school. The ones with more promise would demand more money. Imagine the public address announcer in Citi Field saying "Now batting, for the Dunkin Donuts Red Sox, First National Bank Baseman, Kevin 'You're in Good Hands with All-State Insurance' Youkilis."
As long as we're selling out, why not go all the way?Powered by Sidelines

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The room was clean, the entire staff was polite and helpful and the beds were very comfortable.
The desk clerk was really nice and friendly. She gave me a new room without any hassle and even offered to come and clean the bathroom if it was nasty. Her attitude was really what kept me from giving the hotel a poor rating.
My room was on the backside of the complex adjacent to some shady looking homes. The room was okay at first glance. It wasn't great but okay. The bed was good with a decent mattress and clean linens. The refrigerator worked fine, I didn't use the microwave. The TV would turn on, but could not get a picture. I found...

With Sydney just one week away, Scott says they will focus on H2o as well as the Chaparral sports cruisers, the big 327SSx rocketship ,premium bowriders and Xtreme tow boats.
'We will have 10 boats in total, inside hall 1 at stand number 189.'
In terms of sales, the aim is to equal last year's ROI in Sydney. 'We would be very happy if we could duplicate last year's success, where we sold 22 boats made up of cruisers and Sports cabins and premium bow riders after 40 test drives. H2o will hopefully add to those numbers this year.'
Next on the schedule is Mandurah in WA and a visit to the Auckland show on what Scott describes as 'a fact finding mission' in to the local market, as well as a display at the inaugural Sports boat & PWC Expo in Melbourne, then the Gold Coast International Marine Expo in November.

FEED RX-7 (Fujita Engineering FD3S)
Photos: https://www.facebook.com/JDM.clips Established on 1982, Fujita Engineering (or FEED) is now a 30-year old company. Yet, their passion for rotary motorsports is as hot as ever. The FD3S in this video was their new shop-car, built to become "the fastest street-legal RX-7". As a matter of fact, this car has already proven to be the fastest. On December 2011, it won the class championship of the country's hottest time-attack event "Tsukuba Super Battle". 3 months later, on March 2012 when this video was shot, once again Fujita Engineering was at Tsukuba Circuit to verify what they had been developing throughout the winter was correct. Under fine weather, brand new Advan tires, and having the right driver, the car marked 57.511 sec at the attack at end of the day - beating their own Super Battle record by 0.5 sec. Looks like Fujita Engineering RX-7 is going to win the time-attack again this year. [Car Info] - Attack Driver: Nobuteru Taniguchi (particularly on this day) - Tires: Advan A050 295/35R18 - Wheels: Advan Racing TC III 11.0J+30 - Remaining Devices, Air conditioner, audio equipment, catalyzer, H-pattern shifting - Honors: Winner of 2011 Tsukuba Super Battle / Street S-class (58.051 sec) [Fujita Engineering] - English: http://www.fujitaengineeringusa.com/index.html - Japanese: http://www.fujita-eng.com
