I used to work at Novell back in mid 90s. I transitioned from QA to dev in the security department under Roger Schell, who brought me in. I learned most everything I know about security protocols from that group. But my favorite memories there were the interviews I was asked to do. See, I’m not LDS and not from Utah. And I was chef in a previous life. And so they would ask me to take out the “California” candidates up to Oak Room at Sundance, and wine and dine them. It was a rough job for a 25 year old. We knew Eric’s days were limited (especially when he forced that Java crap at us ;-). I never understood the location in Provo. The campus was across the street from a sewage plant treatment plant! But wait, it gets better, the animal rendering plant was 1/4 mile down the road. The worst, however, was smell of the iron factory (smelter?) or something about a mile away. Ugh. I still think of that when I play Factorio! ;-) However, the best Indian food I have ever had is from Daniel at the Bombay House. Wow, his food has changed my life. Such love put into it. Who would have thought this possible in Provo? And I worked in Redmond for years too! I think I knew good Indian food (for a white guy from CT), having lived with six Indian guys my last year of undergrad, we would hangout all night, eating, making curry, and talking all night long. Thanks for the post and good memories!
