G'Day,

I joined Sun three weeks ago. As this is the first entry in my Sun blog, let me say a little about myself:

You may have heard of me before from my various spare-time hobbies, including my DTrace site, or my Zones site, the DTraceToolkit, the K9Toolkit, Solaris Performance and Tools, SOSUG, #opensolaris on IRC, or as a Solaris instructor or consultant. If you've met me, you'll know that I'm passionate about Sun, and determined to see Solaris 10's cool features used to their potential - especially DTrace.

I'm delighted to join Sun so that I can program, create and innovate, in a full time capacity.

My email address will change, however my personal website, http://www.brendangregg.com will remain (which is a DNS pointer - the underlying location will change). While I have another blog, I'll be using this one to discuss work at Sun.

I look forward to helping out both Sun and Sun's customers.

Comments:

Hey! Congrats, man. And welcome! I'll put your new BSC blog on opensolaris.org right now.

Hi, Brendan! Such a small world... I've just linked your DTrace Meets JavaScript post on the sitepoint.com linkblog.

Belated congratulations Brendan for getting such a position to further Solaris 10 + DTrace. I thoroughly enjoyed your energy levels at the few Sun Training courses back during my time as an SSE in Melbourne. Your love for exploring the technology is apparent.
