Three or four months ago, a friend of mine pointed out to me about a mistake in one of the most monumental music concerts ever performed, the inspiring Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Rick Wakeman in January 1974 at London's Royal Festival Hall. A strange word "stupefication" was invented and introduced (un)intentionally to public by (the late) David Hemmings, the one who read the narratives. (The whole performance was a combination of modern rock music, a full classical orchestra and choir, and a lengthy narration adapted from Jules Verne's famous 19th century novel Journey to the Centre of the Earth). This unique and rare mistake somehow has created its own story; no one knows for sure whether David Hemmings did it intentionally or not.

Design Principles in Ruby on Rails

Within the last few years Ruby on Rails (RoR or just simply Rails) has gained great popularity in the way people develop web applications. It offers web developers to make an architecturally clean web application at a relatively faster time, compared to many existing technologies known. By clean architecture, I mean an application that you could painlessly maintain, change, and extend to meet the objectives of why it's built, even perhaps by someone who initially didn't develop it. For many developers such requirements are really not an easy task to accomplish, nor something that could be done quick enough to save them a moment to enjoy life. Yes, we're hopping from one project to another, time is precious.
