Want to work with me at the $DAYJOB?
I am the CEO of OmniTI where I do all sorts of stuff I find absolutely fascinating.
Writing
I spent a few years writing down my thoughts about how one should approach problems. If you're looking for a how-to guide, a cookbook, or a reference this book is not for you. If you want to learn by challenging the way you think, pick up a copy.
Hacking
It is rumored that I write code sometimes. I often don't believe this myself, so I use this to follow what it is that I'm working on:

In your copious spare time, could you elaborate on those elegant solutions? I, for one, would read with interest.

Well, https://labs.omniti.com/trac/zetaback is one of the things. This tool provides pretty simple backup (full and incremental) and retention for ZFS enables hosts throughout an enterprise.
On Solaris, we use ZFS to migrate Zones from one box to another and have only a few seconds of downtime (across datacenters). I'll note that this can be done on most OS's if you have and enterprise block-level replication system in place. ZFS's incremental sends allow it without foresight.
Additionally providing developers with individual read/write access to systems with large space requirements by using the ZFS clone and promote stuff (basically copy on write copies).
Most are techniques, Zetaback is the only one for the Zettabyte File System that we've formalized into a "tool."
