[vcf-midatlantic] Semi-OT: history @ work

[Evan Koblentz]

Sometimes being a computer historian helps with my daytime job as a 
technology journalist, because I have context that other reporters lack. 
Today I started working on a story about anti-DDOS measures and wound up 
snagging some predictions from Paul Mockapetris -- the guy who basically 
invented DNS. Fun times! In another recent story, I tracked down the 
people who made the product that became Veritas Netbackup. Not sure if I 
posted that here when it published back in June. Here's the link:
