    A new slashdot low?
    Slashdot stories can be annoying and petty at the best of times, but an article today regarding a Microsoft employee who has gotten adult measels is definately a new low. One of my colleagues had this recently - its damn serious, not something to make fun of. At least some of the folks commenting on the article see it the same way.

    SpecMail 2001 Result on Solaris 10 x86
    Interesting specmail2001 result picked up by /.. The press release didn't mention the OS, but its Solaris 10 x86. Quite cool. Now I would love to see this run on a couple of v40z's.

    Java Performance Community
    There is a new Java Performance Community after being started on java.net, which includes a general java performance forum. The project originates from the Java Performance Group in Sun. At the very least worth putting on your java.net watchlist.

    Quick ksh tip
    Very quick ksh tip which can be handy when your developing a script, if you want to check that the syntax of a ksh script is okay without executing it, just add a set -n to the top of the script. From the ksh(1) manpage .... 

             -n       Reads  commands  and  check  them  for   syntax
                  errors,  but  do  not execute them. Ignored for
                  interactive shells.
