(though I’m happy that’s being announced too)
Last night, close to midnight, I’d started writing a blog entry about Solaris on the desktop, the different environments we’ve used, and was going to talk a bit about how far we’ve come from when I joined Sun back in 1996 up to today’s release of OpenSolaris 2008.11 (I was also going to mention my role in writing a chunk of Time Slider for the current desktop environment) but that post’s for another day.
There was a much more important delivery today: Calum Henry Foster, 7lbs 2 oz, was born at 6:04am about 30 minutes after we arrived in the hospital. And yes, I broke a few red lights on the way in! Mother & baby are both doing well and I am the proudest father in the world (again!) – I’m grinning from ear to ear right now.
