My name is Tom Whitten, and I've worked for Sun for about 8 years. Most of that time has been spent working as a test engineer and product engineer on Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) and its predecessor, Solistice Disksuite. I've been working on one form of Unix or the other since the early 1980s, but I do not remember the exact date.

I live in southwestern Colorado, USA and telecommute to Sun's Broomfield campus which is outside of Denver, Colorado. Southwestern Colorado is part of the four corners area. It gets this name, because it is the only place in the United States where the boundries of 4 states meet at right angles. This explains the name of my blog area—Four Corners Noise.

My office is in Cortez, Colorado, and my workstation is a Dell Precision 650 running the latest build of Solaris Nevada. As of this writing that is build 17. I use live upgrade to keep up with the biweekly Nevada builds without loosing work time.

In the future I'll be talking about SVM and some of the Solaris tools that facilitate my telecommuting.
