1. Having 66 credits in college

2. having not only come to understand, but accept what might possibly still amount to only a simple and juvenile understanding of the human condition. Hopefully, as I grow older, I will venture as far into the subject as Emerson, Faulker, and Joyce did on my journey.🙂

3. having tutored math for probably over a year as a volunteer. Making people that happy made me leave with a smile everytime I went home after🙂

 
Right now I'm at a loss. I just lost financing on a business with nearly guaranteed profit due to Indian marriage tradition along with a little Indian astrology. I'm personally out of about $20k due to the deal. I'm having a hard time thinking happy thoughts..............

1. Achieving the level of skill I have in guitar...

2. Worked directly with Mike Barnes, one of Emmit Smith's agents and the guy that brokered almost all of the record breaking home run ball's (like Mac's #70..)... I did a good amount of the work, setup the pages on eBay, produced the AD that was taken out as a full page ad in many magazines, messed with the photos, etc.. He was helping me plan a business when he asked me to help him produce an auction on eBay that ended up being eBay's world record largest closing auction... While I was basically an employee of his for the auction, I was the only one. It was definatley his business and I was just lucky to be there, so I can't take credit for setting that up, but its nice to know that it was my marketing presentation that every one was seeing.. eBay Press Release

3. Was the key US contractor in the migration of almost all of Pakistan's most critical websites, spanning from government (military, financial, judicial) to their top Commercial sites.. The move of data was a direct result to start of the Iraq war and Pakistan becoming a US ally in it. Which is demonstrated in the fact that they put everthing in the center of the US.. St. Louis... my name is on all the contracts that setup Pakistan in the US. It took a year to land the first contract and I fought it out from Rackspace, Savvis, IBM, Qwest, and a few others.. Pakistani Link showing USA based network infracture also.. List of clients on the farm

I'd like to think that I've helped my fair share of people on these forums. In the past I focused on general hardware and for a time software, but now I mostly stick to networking.

I guess, I feel that I am providing a public service in my own little way. It's not that great of an achievement because to me, public service is a priviledge and just seeing people through to eventually resolve their issues is thanks enough.

Elite woundssound nice tough...i'd get a plack, maybe frame it and such...but that's for another day😉

oh man... the building that Cybercon is in, its called the bandwidth exchange building.. Bandwidth Exchange Buildings

Its like one of the largest fiber optic, major carrier backbone interconnects points in the world. Not only does Cybercon have a good array of providers in a fail over BGP network, the routes are seriously like one hop of those backbones... the bandwidth Cybercon has is absolutey sick, and the hugest reason we host Pakistan. They were getting massive DOS attacks that were crippling the country.. At Cybercon, nobody can really throw enough bandwidth at their gateway to take it down...
