....because I'm not contracting any more - I'm a Sun employee again. It'll take a little while to propagate through the various systems, but once that's done I won't have that darned "C" in front of my id. Joy! 
I might even post an entry from b.s.c from time to time as well.
I'm very happy to be back as an employee, and I'm really glad that I'm staying with the group I've been working with for the last 10 months - they're a fantastic bunch of engineers and it's a real pleasure to work with them.
BTW: Note for anybody looking at my profile on LinkedIn: LinkedIn won't acknowledge that timezones exist, so it won't let me update my profile to be correct. I think I'll have to wait until 00:01 on the 1st of September US/Pacific

Knowing Sun, you'll probably be RIF'ed again by the end of the month...

Congratulations, James, and welcome back (again!).

Great !! Congratulations. I was reading on the sun alumni list that most of the people who left Sun would like to come back again. That's Sun's reputation.
