I'd be curious what topics people would find most interesting. The whole COVID lockdown has left me with an abundance of "free" time, and I work professionally in this space (on virtualization for Google Compute Engine). I've been feeling the need to write lately[0]. I know better than to try to tackle a whole textbook, but I'm hoping I could manage a series of blog posts.

[0]: My work has put me in a lot of meetings for quite some time. I've felt a decline in my written communication skills: it takes me a lot longer to write things than it used to, and I'm less happy with the results. Nothing to be done for it but to write!




How virtualized page tables work. SR-IOV. The mechanics of binary translation. The challenges of security in virtualization.


Alright, that's looking like the start of a syllabus, although I may need a guest writer for binary translation (less of that these days, but a friend and colleague was the first employee at VMware, so I'll bug him and see if he wants to write :)


I hope you share that writing here in the future then. I look forward to reading it. Cheers.
