Finally There...

Ok.. should warn everyone this is my first blog...well, at least on the Intel Network.
Are your worried about my picture!? I don't eat live/dead cockroaches... and trust me I dont have a 3rd eye either.. that was my first project with CS3.
I was inspired by the guy i work for Dave Stewart who happens to be a blogathan specialist. I have to admit iam not very regular with this blogging thing, but find it incredibly useful to express yourself.. sort of becomes a personal online diary when its your personal blog. Dave also happens to be a ready for being drafted to Hollywood, the rate at which he produces You tube video... i was lucky to be a sidekick in one of those as well.
I also happen to work in the same building as Josh Bancroft, who i heard him quote showing some stats on discussion sites "This is what the internet is thinking".. i was blown by that comment. I would not even come close the number of microblog twitter messages he posts. Iam hooked on as well, follow me on http://twitter.com/ashokraj
So why blog? Well 2009 is a new year, and its my turn to take those resolutions :-) Yeah Right... More importantly we are doing a great deal of new things with OpenSolaris on the Intel platform and its a great way to make it known by writing about the stuff we do.
I have worked many years on Linux in the CPU hotplug project which has been in mainline for quite some time now. Read my blogs where i intend to write more about OpenSource process, other great things we have already added to OpenSolaris, other cool things such as power management for OpenSolaris.
Cheers,
Ashok
