In a matter of a few hours our team will be meeting with the Solaris 10 Update CTeam for a review of our backport. I've been driving this (generating IDRs, filling in the paperwork etc), and two minutes ago I just hit "send" on the email to send the final review materials off to the CTeam's alias. I'm nervous, more nervous than I ever was when I took part in the NWSC CTeam! I know we're well prepared, but there's still that nervousness which I can't quite get rid of.

A long-running project under the leadership of Roland Mainz in the OpenSolaris community has been the integration of ksh93 into the ON consolidation. I'm ecstatic to note that (courtesy of April) this project was putback into snv_72 on the weekend. (The logfile should be here in a few days). April sent a flag day message about it. With the integration, this marks the closure of phase #1 for ksh93 integration as covered by Korn Shell 93 Integration - PSARC/2006/550 /etc/ksh.kshrc for ksh93 - PSARC/2006/587 and ksh93 Amendments - PSARC/2007/035 Roll on phase 2!

Yesterday we finally got our act together to connect our 4KL water tank to the Onga TF30 pump that was delivered last week. Courtesy of come connectors and 20m of 3/4" polypipe from TradeLink, as well as another 3m of polypipe from Bunnings we managed to bring the level up by about half of what we needed in around an hour. Not a spectacular fill rate, but not too bad either. And of course it started raining about half an hour after we turned off the pump at 1pm.... the rain is still going, tank is now more than half full again, and Archerfield AWS has had 32++mm since 0900 yesterday morning. It's certainly not the drought-breaking rain we need, but it's been long and steady and gentle so with any luck if the predicted heavy falls happen on Wednesday then that rain at least should go into the dams. W000t! Update, 10am: the pool is now more full than when we took possession of the property at the start of July - the rainfall since 1pm is now more than 3.5cm. We might even have to let some out at this rate!
