My brushes with fame and fortune – edition 1

[today’s run: 3.4 miles]

In the early 1990’s I worked for a very small consulting company in Des Moines, Iowa called
Unix Integration Services. My email address was chris@uis.com

Somewhere along the line we were doing some work in automated system management with SNMP and the boss had me apply for an official number from the internet numbers authority people.

You’ll see that we were assigned a number, 673.

Check out who is 674.
