Holy crap. Just found this ultimate tech-cringe photo: Me, circa 1999, in my first Network Engineering job. 19 or 20 years old, wearing an actual Napster hat. I used to live and breathe Nortel CVX 1800s. Without Googling, anyone know what those were and what they did?

Ok, one last #CiacoLive post. Was bummed I didn't get to say hi to @densem0de.bsky.social, and guess who sits down next to me in the shuttle back!
Well #CiscoLive that's a wrap for me. A lot of people left on the list I didn't get to see or say goodbye to. Fingers crossed I'll be back next year to rectify that. And I'll see some of you at hacker summer camp! (Assuming #DefCon doesn't get cancelled again)
Long excited line to get onto the busses to the #CiscoLive celebration. Hey @thegreengirl.net:
All the security sessions have been great, but I've been especially looking forward to this one. #CiscoLive
Sitting in the NetVet area hoping someone will explain to me what this Mythos thing is... #CiscoLive
Ok #CiscoLive it's day 3 and there's still too many of you I haven't seen yet! Keep an eye out. I'll look just like this, except I'll have pants on (or will I?) And remember to dial C-I-S-C-O (2-4-7-2-6) ☎️
So I got a #CiscoLive ducky, and when I found out 100% of proceeds go to a very good cause, I went back and bought him a friend. 🦆🦆
No #CiscoLive drive from LA to Vegas is complete without a stop at the Sonic in Victorville. Be sure to look for me. I'll be the guy with the permanently blue tongue.
Calling all phreaks! It's a @ciscolive.bsky.social miracle! One batch of stickers actually arrived 4 days early, just in time for me to start driving to vegas. Be sure to get one. They'll be in that place where I put that thing that time.
Damn. Really thought I ordered my new stickers far enough in advance to arrive before #CiscoLive, but I failed.billnhqvebplenty at #DefCon though.
TFW you've just returned from Def Con, you're wearing this t-shirt, and the guy at Best Buy is explaining to you what "ram" and "storage" are.
Long drive from LA but I have finally arrived for my first hacker summer camp!

Uh-oh... Someone just ordered brand-new stickers for DefCon. Hoping they arrive in time, 'cause I think they're phreaking awesome. 🟥 Was feeling nostalgic. Had someone searched my backpack in '95 or '96, they probably would have found one of these. (1700 Hz + 2200 Hz = 🪙)
This is your daily reminder to watch out for SEO poisoning attacks. IE, this copy of PuTTY that comes from a legit-looking site, and was one of the top listings if you Google "putty". Nasty little fucker. --- www.virustotal.com/gui/file/0b8...

So, I almost didn't make it to the year 2025, let alone make it to #CiscoLive. Great to have seen everyone, and sad I missed some of you. I'll definitely be around in 2026, and if the Cisco Learning Credits gods are generous, I'll see you all at #CiscoLive 2026!

OK, I am officially announcing my great #CiscoLive giveaway contest! The first person find me and say "fiber optic conduit bender" will receive this yellow Leviton EXTREME™ Cat 6 QUICKPORT™ Jack that I've had in my backpack for the last 6 months!!
#CiscoLive QoS/DSCP lesson of the day: Made it from Pasadena to San Diego in 2 hours and 5 mins. The takeaway being, "Best Effort" does not necessarily equal "slow". ⚡ I have arrived!
I've been AWOL for X and Bsky lately, but anyone going to Cisco Connect in LA this Thursday? I'll be there! www.cisco.com/c/en/us/trai...

Just pulled out my guitar amp from circa ~'96, and it had this bumper sticker on the side. Anyone in LA remember Y-107 FM??? Pioneered the Jack-FM model of rock with no DJs. Used to be based out of Pasadena. (Amp is a Fender Princeton 112 Plus)
Just booked my hotel for CiscoLive San Diego! Already getting amp'd up! Who's coming??
