Paul's Cranium

I've never done this before, so when a good friend of mine suggested that I start a blog I thought it was a very funny idea.

Not entirely sure that I even exist, the whole idea of putting the thoughts buried deep in my head out there for others to see seems a bit absurd. A good exercise, however. Maybe one of you could convince me that I am really here.

I would like to begin my blog by talking a bit about the oddity of a blog with two categories: "All" and "Nothing". I didn't think about the strange juxtaposition of these two words when I chose my "Nothing" category. It just seemed to be the best word to describe most of the thoughts I will share here. Kind of a funny thing. A bit of brain feather. That these two words would be separated by the word "and", connecting them to the contents of my blog. Does "All" really include "Nothing"? I bet it does.

On the way of introductions, I will say that my name really is Paul Lovvik, and I work at Sun Microsystems in the Market Development Engineering organization. I work on code, I investigate new features going into Solaris 10, I talk to Sun's partners, I work late at night and on weekends, and I love it here. Still not completely sure I exist though. All in good time, I suppose... (2004-08-08 20:50:52.0) Permalink Comments [3]

Are you the one who wrote that article about using Assembly language? (Assembly Language for Solaris OS. . .). You rock, man. Heidi

<hr> Hi Heidi -

I did write the article. But I've done bigger things since then... Ok, nothing is coming to mind right now, but I'm sure I have picked it up a notch in the meantime...

As a courtesy to those passers by, rather than searching on Google, I kindly present a link: Assembly Language Techniques for the Solaris OS, x86 Platform Edition

As for the "You rock" part - I'm just an ordinary guy. I do what I can to make the world a better place, knowing full well that the whole thing may exist only in my head.

And if that really is the case - that the whole world exists only in my head - you might say that I did the article and practically everything else for myself. Of course, if all of that is true, then there must be some part of me that would agree with you.

Hey, mental health practitioners claim that you must be your own best friend before you can truly befriend others. If this is true, we are--every one of us--your friends. Thanks for opening a window so that we, your friends, may view the world inside your cranium. I'm looking forward to the next installation! --Heidi
