OpenSolaris is getting around....
Jonathan said it was coming, and now it here! Techworld, yesterday, reported that over the weekend, Apple released ZFS code and binaries for Mac OS X. It has been great seeing the Apple developers taking the ZFS code and getting it running on Mac OS X.
In related news the guys over at Nexenta have announced a release candidate for their Nexenta Core Platform 1.0. This update incorporates many of the new storage features and technologies. The post to the opensolaris-announce mail list has the details. If you want to try it out You can download NexentaCP ISO image and burn it onto a CD. Great work guys ... we are looking for more great updates!

Blogging extension for StarOffice
I've been frustrated with the on-line editing capabilities of our Roller weblog. Not that it is bad, but it is not great. I did a quick search and found that our StarOffice group created a Weblog Publisher extension. I'm hoping that using a real text editor/ word processor will make blogging easier. [NOTE: While looking for URLs I also see there are other cool extensions for StarOffice, pretty cool!]
I'll keep you all informed on how my experiment works out.
