I finished reading a book today, "Spin State" by Chris Moriarty. Very much enjoyed it.

It's a kind of posthuman hard sci-fi mystery thing. A kitchen sink of genre elements and interests. The "hard sci-fi" didn't interest me, but the posthuman theme did.

It really pulled me along, page after page. It's been a while since I've had that experience with a book.

And it's got two sequels, which I'll definitely pick up.

Apparently Oracle recently let go of most of the engineers still working on Solaris.

The sudden death and eternal life of Solaris

As had been rumored for a while, Oracle effectively killed Solaris on Friday.

dtrace.org

I suppose the things to take away from that article are: Illumos & SmartOS are still around, Solaris technologies survive, and Oracle is terrible. (All of which I've heard before. From Cantrill, even.)

On one hand, I'm sad to see Solaris end this way; on the other, I'm glad the technology survives, even if the name doesn't.

Excellent performance vs. Dahang at Quakecon today. Technical difficulties aside this has been an entertaining tournament.

It's 5:45 AM local time and I'm craving caffeine.

Goodbye sleep schedule.

Day one of Quakecon went more or less as expected. Major technical problems. Not enough games shown.

Quake Champions doesn't look ready for a major tournament. It looked like there were a lot of connection problems (and on LAN, too). The whole thing looked much less reliable than what I expect from a Quake game.

It is exciting to see some of my favorite players compete again, though. Cooller performed very well. As did Fazz (which was a surprise).

Quakecon starts tomorrow.

It looks like the stream coverage will be the new game, "Quake Champions". The duel competition seems more open than Quakelive. Round-based duel is pretty weird though.

Will be cheering for Cooller, and for any of the Australian players to place highly. Especially after Dandaking won an invitation to the event with ~250 ping...
