I had the pleasure of a few conversations with Brian about 7 years ago
when I first started tinkering with AMPR and packet. I never bothered to
google the man or his creds before we spoke. Our conversations were very
casual and we talked like fellow IT geeks for a few min, shared a few
network jokes and went on about things. Later I looked him up after he
talked a bit about working at UCSD and seen the list of accomplishments
and felt privileged that I had a conversation with him. I feel
privileged to have spoken to one of the greats in the IT community.
