Shaggy (Frank Barrus)

RIT Computer Science Graduate(d) Student

Last Partial Update: Monday, January 17, 2000.

• SOLO 0.99 has finally been released (after two years of promising it "soon")

• My thesis is almost done! I've wrapped up everything I'm going to be doing on the code, and put up releases of DECO and SHACC on my software download page. Now I just need to finished up the conclusions and do some final editing, and I'll finally be free! (I haven't updated the Thesis page yet-- I'll do that as soon as I finish the writing)

• I have left Lucent, and am now a Vice President and founder of savaJe technologies (as well as a kernel architect and developer, of course). Details will follow later, at an appropriate time.

• My resume has been updated and is now accessible again.
• I've added a new ``hyper-thoughts'' page which has a hyperlinked compilation of lots of my notes and thoughts on various topics.
• I'm in the process of updating all of my web pages and my thesis and online software. Hopefully, sometime soon there will be an online HTML version of my thesis in addition to the postscript ones, as well as software updates for DECO and SOLO.
• I was bald last May (1998).
• I'm no longer working at Xerox (since spring of 1997), since
• I took a new job doing OS development on Inferno for Lucent Technologies, at Bell Labs

• ShagOS Seminar 1 Slides are now available
• Shag/OS 0.37 has been released
