A road named NoNameUno

It was during the spring of 1994, my wife and myself drove all the way from North Carolina to California, in particular to bay-area. That was after couple years of working in the east coast for quite a few companies as a Programmer. While I was driving, I was thinking to get my mind out of daily thoughts about programming, but was not successful. On the otherhand, I was trying to correlate something with what I experienced about programming, though subconciously...

Then after our arrival in bay-area, we moved down to Morgan Hill to own a house at the begining of 1996. By then we have our first kid, and we need to have a family checkup with a nearby hospital. While I've the address, I did not have the direction to get there, and internet was not very popular at that time, so there was no yahoo direction or other that I could have used.  I picked up the phone, called them for direction. The lady on the otherside was having trouble with my accent, and I was having trouble with the name of the street from where I had to make a left turn to my final destination. The name of the the street is -  No Name Uno street... It's california, and I've no idea what, if any, it means.

I asked "What is the Street Name you just mentioned?" She replied  "No Name Uno" ... And we were caught in a semi-infinite loop of  Q&A. Sometime I was interrupting in the middle before she finishes, and other time she was forcing me to repeat my question before I'm done...

Honestly, I simply loved it. It has a lot of similarities with Programming space... Just to mention a few: Network and communication programming, Little indian and Big endian, infinite loop, dead-lock, race conditions. Do you get it :-)

Primary goal of this site is how I feel about programming and high tech, so expect some random topics on and around these two main theme.

Lets get back to business !!!
