This is my general blog. It started as documentation of my attempts, over 60 days, to take the Sendmail source code and augment it with support for Sun’s DTrace technology. I was using a Sun Ultra 40 from Sun’s Try and Buy scheme, prompted by Johnathan Schwartz.
Along the way learned more about new features in Solaris 10, including DTrace itself, Zones, and the Service Management Framework. I also compared and contrasted my experiences with Solaris 10 with those of FreeBSD on the same hardware. For more details see the first entry.
Sun liked this enough that I won the Ultra 40. So now I’m using this as my general technology blog.
A bunch of things have happened since then -- at the time of writing the most notable one being that I started working for Google in Switzerland, so I occasionally touch on expat issues too.
My name’s Nik Clayton, and Google can probably tell you more about myself than I can.
