  For those of you that still remember the good old days of core dumps, here’s a post that follows that philosophy. It’s been quite sometime since i last had a chance to put some content here on the blog, nor have i had time to expand on the interesting comments that have appeared and so on… time has been short lately. In some sense, this is good news: research has really taken the best of me (as opposed to, e.g., some of the network management tasks that have plagued me in the not-so-distant-past ) — last week i gave a talk at Syracuse, and if all goes well, maybe i’ll be able to talk a bit about it here.
