Yes, I've been reading this list daily for a few years. I know it's just funny to watch what happens on some of the other lists :) Flame away if you don't have a life :)

Funny, I was looking at a stainless Mini-14 .223 this morning and thinking $499 is a good price. (Gun Show's are great on Sunday AM) Yes, our NOC has a large well equipped gun safe in it, it's also handy for backup tapes/CD's and expensive licensed software. But the most important part of this thread that was painfully obvious is our increasing addiction, if not outright dependence upon certain websites sponsored by well meaning companies (corporate sponsers) that may not be able to continue this financial support. Our business has a large open source centric software development angle, and it has actually impacted the way we do business, even over a weekend. It's Sunday AM, and there is a small team of geeks working on projects, at least CPAN, Sourceforge and other sites are up. As for routers being repossessed, we are spending this weekend setting up servers for some new clients that can not get into some other colo facilities because the landlord padlocked the doors to the NOC they were renting space/bandwidth from. Dispite all of the technical expertise available, many of these companies are suffering from financial realities that technology can not solve.
Was technology really supposed to change every aspect of the way we live in such a short period of time, when in most cases what was driving acceptance was just expenditure of money and NOT actual paradigm-shifting technology? I have a hard time believing any geeks voluntarily get up on a Sunday AM, so I am assuming you/they were up all night. Guns in your operations center.... hmmm. brings new meaning to the term "access terminated" eh?

> maybe there should be a nanog range day :) Mmmm... well, there's certainly a history of pre-NANOG field trips, and the next NANOG is in Oakland... Not to say that Oakland is a free-fire zone or anything, but it would certainly be easy enough to arrange for the use of a range the Sunday before the next meeting. :-) -Bill
