About this Site

This site is the home to my random technical ramblings. The intention is to offer information and help in subjects that have stumped me or are of particular interest to me, and that may be of use to others out there, with a slant towards Solaris and OpenSolaris.

About Colin Seymour

Colin Seymour is a support engineer in the Mission Critical Solution Centre of Sun Microsystems Oracle Corporation in the UK.

My primary fields of "expertise" are in Solaris, OpenSolaris, crash dump analysis, networking, Sendmail, ZFS, zones, security, jumpstart and pretty much anything that is considered part of the operating system.

I have extensive knowledge in other fields that are not part of my day-to-day job including, but not limited to, storage software products supplied by Sun (e.g. NBU, VxFS, VxVM, EBS, SDS), Sun storage hardware products from prior to the StorageTek acquisition (e.g. SE3xx0, SE69xx, A5xx0, T3 etc), other operating systems (Redhat/Suse/Ubuntu Linux, Windows XP & 7, Apple OS X) and various other products - listing them all could take some time.

I'm self-taught in Apache, PHP, MySQL, CSS, limited Perl, limited Python and some very basic Ruby and Java and know enough to work my way through most source code.

More personal information about me and my other general random ramblings can be found on my personal site at http://colinseymour.co.uk
