Bill Moffitt's Weblog

Solaris at JavaOne... First blogging experience... let's see how this goes. For those who don't know me, I am Bill Moffitt, and I work in the OS marketing group at sun. I am best known for my utterly forgettable statements to the press, although I enjoy some of them, like http://www.sinica.edu.tw/info/security/news-%AA@%B6%A7%B1%C0%A5X%AD%5E%AFS%BA%B8%AA%A9Solaris.htm and http://www.faq-mac.com/mt/archives/000209.php (¡Solaris! ¡En Intel! ¡Es el fin del mundo!) I am also known for my rather unusual sense of humor. Suffice it to say that I see the absurd in everything, and perpaps point it out too often. In my own defense, however, I'll just say that I am far more interested in the humor of the absurdity than any serious implications it may have. I'm not exactly a gloom-and-doom kinda guy. Well, I'm just getting ready for JavaOne next week - always an interesting show. I work in the enterprise software world (not much more "enterprise" than Solaris...) but I really love gadgets. I'll be a captive in the Trusted Security pod for a good part of the show (y'all come by, y'hear?) with my friends Martin Hack, Mark Thacker, and Videhi Mallela. When I do escape you'll probably find me poking into all the little embedded devices and doodads. It's going to be fun to see how folks are embedding Java in all kinds of new things. I have a DoJa-capable phone and Clié that'll run J2ME, but I think there's still an awful lot of potential to be mined out there. So, see you at JavaOne next week, and let's try to have some fun out there! (2004-06-25 09:55:13.0) Permalink
