• What were you doing 10 years ago?
  Summer of 1997. It was right after my freshman year in college. I was working for the summer down in Ft. Meade, Maryland for “the man.” Driving a shiny new SUV and fixing ancient pascal code for Y2K compliance. Remember Y2K?
• What were you doing 1 year ago?
  Just starting my new job here at BWH after quitting MIT. Other than that, pretty much the same thing I’m doing now. Oh, I was embroiled in a tenant-landlord dispute at our old apartment with broken windows and leaking walls that was being converted to condos. Going to the usenix ATC conference here in Boston.
