Leaving Sun
Starting Aug 17 I leave Sun Microsystems. My personal e-mail is igotti@gmail.com. Have fun!PS: I have no other technical blog yet, you may look at my Livejournal blog, but it's in Russian and generally have not that much info yet
PPS: my last project - compressed object pointers is now of production quality, being reviewed and hopefully will be integrated into Hotspot workspace rather soon.
