All right, so show a hands.

Who knew what BGP was before this week?

Me.

Oh, no, I don't think I did.

Yeah, I didn't either.

I knew John Wood, of course, John.

Have you done anything, if you've done anything like

server side development in a big company context for

enough years, you know, at BGPS?

Not that I like know it and like I'm not a networking engineer,

but it's the thing that you run across.

So it's the kind of thing that like I probably should have

run across at Tumblr, but I, like we were always just in a

data center host that was like hosting our servers for us.

Like, you know, we were like when I left, there was like

120 servers, but they were all still at what was then

called the planet, which was in later became software,

which later became part of IBM.

But it was just like it was a dedicated host where like,

you, you, you, you, servers.

So like they took care of like the, the networking gear,

the routers and everything.
