Well, here in America, we call them Trailer Park Trash. But I am related
to far to many residents of "estate-parks", so I should probably shut-up
about that now.
And on the strength of that, please, let me introduce myself.
I'm Anne Marie Merritt. I'm a software engineer in SillyCone Valley
by day, crasher of Yahoo End of Year Parties by night. Uhday
invited me, (to this list, not to the party, though I suppose this list
could garner a party invite sometime) so it's OK. My own current
professional entanglement involves Infiniband software development,
with the occasional side foray into managability for networking and
storage, and a smattering of random other interests. I have borg
implants from many of the biggies - HP, Intel, Cisco, QLogic; they
all interfere with each other on occasion, so right now I'm at a tiny
little company where the turf battles are far more vicious precisely
because there's so very little at stake. Ahh, home.
Anne Marie
