Thought I remembered correctly :^). A few years back, I was playing around
with Cisco routers, so I had to learn all those kinda networking things and
whatnot. HDLC, BGP, OSPF, OSI model, CIR, and soforth. At the smaller companies
that I've done consulting work for, I'd be the only geek in the office, so I
had to do it all. Thank God I only have to hack code, for the time being.
The company is expanding, so something tells me my obligations will be increasing,
too.

Later, dude...
