If It Was Me I Wouldn't Be Laughing
But since it's not me, I have to assume that the driver of the Ferrari in this video was a stuntman in training or something. Technorati Tags

Old Notes From LinuxWorld
I managed a brief visit to LinuxWorld in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago and I have to say I was quite impressed with some of the hardware on display there, I was however somewhat surpised at how relatively small the vendor showcase area was.

I really thought it would have been much bigger although that may be partly due to my recent attendance at Java One which has a pretty large hall devoted to vendors. The Sun stand was very busy from what I saw (looking at some of the stands close to ours we did seem to be getting a lot more traffic than a number of other vendors) and I have since heard from other Sun employees that it was very busy all week. Apparently our AMD-based systems have been creating a lot of interest.

Since then things have been a bit hectic, I've just got back from a quick trip to the UK and today, I'm off to Japan to see some customers and partners. One of the customers I met in the UK has some very cool ideas about vendor and system management which I'll distill and post later in the week.

Quarter Century For Solaris 10
If my calculations are correct, The Register has just done the 25th official review of Solaris 10 and overall I think it's pretty good.

In case you're wondering, we are very serious about making Solaris 10 successful, progress continues on new boot, networking, filesystem and virtualization technologies as well as some really hot systems to run Solaris on. Watch this space.
