  • VMware Fusion

    Finally got Solaris 11 to work under VMware Fusion (5.03) – add (or replace whatever is there) line to the “solaris 11.vmx” in the VMware solaris location: ethernet0.virtualDev = “e1000” Works under bridged, at least! Now to engage the beast the Solaris has become over the years… hopefully dtrace will work well under the Real…

  • everybody knows this is nowhere

    Dromedaries are the one-humped variety, Bactrian have two. And as everyone knows, dromedaries rule, and Bactrian’s drool. They both spit, though. My favorite line from my very last DARPA proposal. More in a bit, insanely busy!

Thanks to my IPMI paper sucking my life away I’m behind schedule, but it was always an excuse to play with and understand the tech, not…

  • DARPA, how great art thou

    I should be singing hymns or something to DARPA – the fast track program is truly amazing, or at least it has been to me. I submitted a 2nd proposal (details upcoming) and it got accepted in less than 48 hours.  Startups don’t even move that fast! Another 6 months of livelihood.  If they only…

  • DARPA, I’ll miss you when I’m gone

    So I’ve been winding down my project at DARPA and thought I’d put down some at least close-to-final thoughts on it. I’ve been asked a number of times about how much people should charge for their work.  Three things on this: The government is doing you a favor if you get accepted – you get…
