Came upon the intermud protocol page which I helped implement about 10 years ago. Hmm I wonder what the other implementors are up to nowadays. After looking them up, I am wondering what the hell happened to me. Let's take a look at a few of the people that I looked up from that page:
- Greg Stein - Now an engineering manager at Google. He's also the Chairman of the Apache foundation. Speaker at the Oreilly conference and a heavy contributor of open source projects such as Subversion and Python.
- John Viega - CTO of Secure Software, Inc. Co-author of Building Secure Software, Network Security with OpenSSL (Oreilly), and Secure Programming Cookbook. Nice profile on the Oreilly page as well.
- George Reese - Wrote too many Oreilly books! View that link to view it yourself. Now a CEO at Valtira.
- James Donald - My closest buddy back then during development. I guess we had the most in common since I was 14 and he was 13, and everyone else were in their late 20's and early 30's. He got his BS in EECS at Berkeley and is now obtaining his phd at Princeton in EE. He's the first genius I've ever met. If you look around on his website you'll be amazed by how much he has already accomplished already in his life. I don't think I will be able to accomplish even half of that throughout my entire life. sniff sniff.

You shouldn't judge your accomplishments based on the amount of schooling you have obtained. You need to take into account how much you've eriched your life with what you've done outside of school, open source projects, etc. You just have a life and know how to enjoy it. Don't worry dude...we'll start a business at some point....maybe open up a bar in SF. Now that would be an accomplishment. ;-)
