Mike's Solaris Blog

Following a particularly interesting conversation with Doug, I'm thinking seriously about starting up a blog, specifically for Solaris sysadmin content (I say "thinking" mainly because this is a bit of a test of the blogging software that I've just installed...)

I wasn't so sure to start with, perhaps nobody is particularly interested in what I have to say.. however, here's Dougs' wise words..

"That's what's really good about the blog - mini-papers on mini-problems
without all of the palaver around a real article, as you've experienced."

Given that a formal white paper or magazine article takes a significant amount of time and effort (satisfying though it is), that makes the blog experience sound quite interesting. If I persist then I would expect this to be a fairly low-volume but technical discussion (and please feedback - if no-one is listening, I tend not to speak)

So, who am I then? - well.. I'm just this guy, y'know. I've been a Unix SysAdmin my entire career (I specialise with Solaris machines but have tinkered with many other Unices along the way). I occasionally write articles for SysAdmin magazine - in fact, I'm currently writing one for the April 2006 issue about synchronising host Operating Systems in order to achieve failover or migration. In case you're interested, I keep the previous articles archived at http://hindsight.it
