Thursday May 12, 2005 Tim Marsland posted his first blogs the other day (three in his first day!) and I have to say I was filled with glee when he told me about it. I'd like more people to get to know Tim. He is a fountain of ideas, he was the driving force behind the AMD64 work in Solaris 10, and he's a pleasure to work with. Working with Tim to solve a problem is like meandering through the woods - along the way, you explore all sorts of possibilities and at the end, you're richer for the experience. Tim was one of the key people who convinced me to lead OpenSolaris. Oh, and he has a wonderful British accent thing going for him, too.
One other important thing to know about Tim: He loves Lego. As a software engineer, well, I guess that's not surprising. After all, with Lego, as with software, you can build amazing things out of basic components and building blocks. And Tim loves to build amazing things. Don't we all?

Hey Claire, thanks for the kind words .. but I have to point out that the word lego is like sheep - it's the same whether it's singular or plural.
