self portrait, 1997. I'm standing in front of two production switches with a snakes nest of ethernet wires between them.

   Who else worked #y2k?

   I was at UUNET Canada, an ISP and had to work from 9-3am testing scripts after midnight. Spoiler: they all worked fine.

   No pics of the night but found this one from my first day in 1997. I had to label each end of these ethernet cables between two banks of switches. #networking
