Melinda Shore, all at sea:
Here in Alaska was the first time I'd worked in an environment
that had technologists at a considerably less than elite skill
level, and I'd previously had no idea the extent to which
average operators/data centers rely on vendors (worse: VARs
and consultants) to solve their technical problems.
You'd love the Pacific.
Few IETFers get exposed to these kinds of environments.
