The Internet Protocol is designed for use in interconnected systems of packet-switched computer communication networks. Such a system has been called a "catenet". -- Postel, J. "Internet Protocol" RFC 791 September 1981
Ok, in case your wondering what I have been up to lately, or what planet I came from this is a quick biography.
I grew up in Carbondale, PA. I went to high school at Scranton Preparatory School. While I
was in attendance at Scranton Prep I was involved in the Debate Team, Junior Statesmen of America, and the Computer Club. I was
a geek in high school, and not much has changed. While I was in high school I worked part-time at Dun &
Bradstreet. I called businesses and harrased them for information. My senior year in high school,
Louis Marquette and I founded Starr Technologies. We ran two computer shows, then we tried to develop a voice-over-IP like
product which we eventually gave up on after some significant progress. We then did some PC sales. I graduated from Scranton
Prep in 1997.
After graduation I went to Rochester Institute of Technology, in Rochester, NY to major in Computer Science.
I lived in Fish C West (a dorm) for a year. After my freshman year, I came back to scranton to work as a Systems Administrator
Intern for Dun & Bradstreet for the summer. My sophomore year I moved into an on-campus apartment, with three other guys. Shortly
after I start working for E-Znet, Inc., a regional ISP in upstate NY. They were crazy enough to pay
me to play with their network. While at E-Znet I got a tremendous amount of experience, and had the opportunity to work with
some of the best businessmen I have ever met and some really top notch geeks.
After my third year in college I was compelled to pursue other avenues. After some job hunting I moved to Herndon, VA to take a job as a Senior Network Engineer for
UUNET - A WorldCom Company. I worked at WorldCom For almost two years. I bounced around between a couple roles in both Access and Transit TAC. So, it's kind of a funny story. Four security guards decided I shouldn't work at WorldCom anymore. So after two years I was escorted out, and wound up at another ISP (Amerinex.net) making more money with a better job. The day after I started my new job WorldCom declared chapter 11. Who had the last laugh?
So now another chapter begins as friday is my last day in the current job, and monday I start with VeriSign. We'll see how it works out...
