Update

It's been a while since I updated this blog. I've been a bit busy, but new articles will start appearing shortly. Since my last post, I have left IBM Canada and joined Two Sigma Investments in New York. I'm no longer developing virtual machines, but the name and scope of the blog will remain the same. I'm still doing low-level software development and I'm learning a lot about areas I haven't investigated in depth before, and from my new colleagues.
