Hello WordPress.org!
I’ve jumped ship yet again! I’m now hosting my blog using Dreamhost, I’ve got my very own domain name and everything 
This blog will stay here, possibly forever, possibly for a year or two…But it won’t be getting updated!!!

Well, we’ve been waiting, what, about two years for this now. Today, Apple released Java 6 as part of it’s Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4.
The support docs (found here) say that in this 158MB update we get:
Upgrade today as I’m sure many developers will be wanting to update their code as part of a long awaited refactoring!
Well, the weekend didn’t go well…The console server didn’t get upgraded as a package caused errors in the new BE…That was most of Saturday wasted…
Monday morning was spent turning everything back on after the weekend, it was a shame as I was hoping for the lab to be silent, but the AC was already on…
Tuesday and Wednesday was spent ironing out issues to do with the lab power cycle.
Thursday I looked at a borked KVM more, it doesn’t seem to be broadcasting anything on IPv4 or IPv6…I also fixed an intrusion switch that someone had broken…
Friday I went home early to catch the train back to Melksham for my sisters birthday.
Monday begins after a sleepless night, it’s so bloody warm here…I spent the morning looking at our console server, remember I was going to upgrade it? After all the preliminary work I was really afraid to touch the real thing for fear of breaking it…Well I fixed a couple of problems with it and went ahead, re-labeling disks and creating volumes and mirrors using SVM. In the afternoon I looked at it a bit more and kicked off the copying of the boot environment (BE).
Tuesday I got in a looked at the console server, my ssh session had dropped…The new BE is currently in a bad state, so I can’t delete it, or overwrite it…I’ll need to see what I can do about that…
We also moved a load of stuff out of the overflow lab, and into the bin/cupboard/main lab…It was all because we were moving the SL700 to the end of the lab. I spent the afternoon cursing the warm weather and cleaning up the mess I made on the console server…
Wednesday was slow moving, warm are irritable.
Thursday I inserted a SCSI card into an ultra 20 among other bits and bobs.
Friday was spent turning off all the machines in the lab as electrical work was taking place over the weekend. Seeing as the work was going on, the weekend was an opportune time to work on the console server without interrupting anyone.
It’s finally here! OpenSolaris 2009.06 has been released!
Head over to opensolaris.org to download the new iso, or run `pfexec pkg image-update` (no quotes) as the user you created when you installed your machine to upgrade your current installation.
Exciting new features include:
If you are using the development repositories, start reaping the benefits of 2010.02 in the next few weeks!
