*tap*, *tap* Is this thing on ?

Hello World.

I'm Tim, an engineer working in the Operating Platforms Group at Sun Microsystems Inc. concentrating on writing test suites for various Solaris technologies (currently ZFS). I live in Dublin, Ireland, with my wife who is often referred to in this web log as "the missus" or "the lovely Bob" and my baby daughter Ella - henceforth known as "Bananas". I was born in '75 and I've got a homepage at http://www.netsoc.ucd.ie/~timf. I like working at this company (I started in 1996, and haven't left yet).

I started working in OPG towards the end of October 2005, doing test development on ZFS - before that, I spent 9 years in the Software Globalization group at Sun, part of which was spent working on the development of tools to make the translation of software a lot more efficient - we've now open sourced these tools via the Open Language Tools project on Java.net.

I'm interested in all things Solaris-related, and in my ample spare time, try to help out the Marketing and User-group communities on opensolaris.org.

That's all for now, but in the meantime, if you've any thoughts or comments, drop me a mail, even just to say "hi".

Hi ! That's cool to participate in the kind of work as you're doing ! I must inspire from your experience to bring my effort closer to the wild world. I'm more like a backoffice of support services in France, and the opportunity to meet with externals are quite limited. Keep Cool ! jj

Sharing translation resources, tm tools... interesting topics. A search at Bloglines.com led me to your blog. Now you're 'subscribed' at my account www.bloglines.com/public/luistxo greetings from a small Basque company working on the same field, though on a different scale.

Update: as of last year, I left the ZFS QE group, and am now working in the Solaris Kernel group responsible for the xVM hypervisor.
