Dear Google,

Please help me. I'm prone to bouts of drunken foolishness. They usually end with me sending a string of ill-advised and highly embarrassing emails.

I feel good about sharing this with you, since you're already handling information about my health conditions, sexual preferences, and financial concerns.

Sincerely,
John Doe

Sound like a good idea? Then you're going to love Gmail's new feature.

This is something I should have blogged about earlier, it is always very hard for me to do something that I have stopped doing for a little while and under time constraints. Better late than never...

The Phase II of the Presto project as detailed in section 4 of the paper had finally integrated into Solaris Nevada build 97 in mid August. A HUGE THANKS to Norm , Wendy, Calum for sticking in through phase I and II of the project. Though the greatest honors should be bestowed on Evan and Halton who resolved more than 90 bugs between them over the last few weeks before integration! Of course, they would be so great without all the bugs logged by Conny Cheng .

So what are the features in this release:
o A shinning brand new Print Manager which supports Auto Detection of local USB printer.
o It also auto-discover network printers when this service, svc:/network/device-discovery/printers:snmp is turned on
o Added queues are automatically reflected in the Print Manager Queue window.
o The Print Manager also provides a Printer Group view and a job view.
o The print system supported is LP, no CUPS yet (just to disappoint a few, sorry)

Details of the Printer Group is described in the paper above and also in my previous blog

Thanks to Juanita and Calum, we also integrated the Online Help into Nevada 99. Thanks go to Matt for dealing with the yelp required format. This has been truly a team worked project! It has been GREAT experience when there were times when I thought I would never see the end it

So we as CAs are taught so many things from Sun folks .I am yet to see people more humble than them!! (If they even exist)
.Now that I was (And still am) doing my Internship as a CA I got an opportunity to work with
Moinak Gosh (The architect of Belenix) over the last Summer.

The project aimed at providing a "RAM based boot for Belenix0.7" . The complete details can be found a few posts down.!
But when the "Opensource Community Innovation awards" was announced, it was like a hot cake  thats was too good to let go.And so I sent my works on Belenix .
And what do you ,I WON!!                                                                                                                        The Winning contest entries are announced here . (perhaps it was the best day yet)
A brief Intro of all the Award recipients are here.

PS: Well that day was beyond belief .What followed in the evening and all through the night was perhaps "pure delight of Insanity" (If you know what i mean ) 
A hearty Thanks to everybody who helped me!

SUN Rocks!!!!!

Do you have input to improve OpenSocial? If so, you're in luck. Dan Peterson sent out a call to start the ball rolling on the OpenSocial v0.9 Specification. For newbies he discusses the specification process. He also gives a recap of likely changes in v0.9.

He's looking to gather all ideas by this Friday (October 10th). So if you've been itching for a feature, now is the time to send your ideas in!

The final drafts of the GlassFish v3 Prelude documentation are available now from the GlassFishDocumentation Comments Wiki. For a list of documents to review, consult the section Guides and Tutorials - Ready for Review on the wiki page.

As the review is starting a day late, the deadline for comments is now end of day Monday, 13 October 2008.

Members of the GlassFish documentation team have asked subject matter experts individually to review sections of the documentation that apply to their area of expertise.

If you have been asked by a member of the GlassFish documentation team to review a particular section of the documentation, or are interested in the GlassFish v3 Prelude documentation, please set aside some time this week to review the documentation. The quality of your reviews has a major effect on the overall quality of the documentation.

Thank you

We hosted Word Camp New York in our offices on Sunday - Matt Mullenweg spoke about the "State of WordPress" and in a word, it's strong. That was clearly visible from the crowd in the offfice, we had nearly 140 people spend their day with us listening, talking, participating. I heard a lot of good things from how to make your blog more effective to video in blogs. I really enjoyed hearing about how WordPress is being used and meeting a lot of the participants.

Special thanks to Jonathan Dingman to getting this organized and Hal & the Divas for getting it going. The presentations and a video will be posted on the website as soon as they're available.

This Sun BluePrints article describes how to quickly provision an iSCSI array with ZFS in both Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris environments.
