20 Aug 2004 Chief Executive Prankster
blankbaby has posted a kind review of my blog and talks about my self caricature and my title "Chief Executive Prankster". Every late March and early April, I assume the role of a Chief Executive Prankster, Sun Microsystems Inc. However I'm not a Chief Executive, just like a "Cookie Cutter" is not a Cookie! There are scores of Chief Executive Pranksters at Sun. We play pranks on almost anyone; not just CEOs and COOs with real pony tails

Last April we played a prank on our Chief Executive Officer Scott McNealy with a working implementation of Big F*ing Web Tone Switch. He often talks about it. It is a big switch - turn it on - you get all the services you need - non stop - no virus outages. We have done many things in the past like putting Bill Joy's car on water, or converting Scott's office into a golf course, or playing "Formula Sun ONE" race, or putting a director in a cardboard box office and even backing out all the cool new features we have added to Solaris 10. There is a prank history museum in the corridors of our Menlopark campus building 17, that houses remains of the pranks we play at Sun. Check this page for a huge list of more pranks! (do check the link, its great!)

At Sun we do two things: We make the net work and we kick butt and have fun!
