OpenSolaris 2009 Elections & Constitution
Just cast my ballot in this years OpenSolaris OGB Ballot, and voted yes for the new OpenSolaris constitution. I strongly believe that if your entitled to vote on something and didn't then you shouldn't be complaining about it later, so if you are a core contributor you should go vote now. Polls close at Mon Mar 23 23:59:59 2009 PDT.

DTrace, Fortran & Sun Studio
Just read a really, really cool article on a newly evolving feature of the Sun Studio Fortran Compiler, a -dtrace option, which will allow you to automatically generate dtrace probes in your Fortran code. Must go play when I get an opportunity... this is wickedly cool.
