Back in 1992, I was doing a university internship in a large physics research center. I was a physics student 1nd discovered linux at that time. It became a hobby and since I was in contact with the community, someone asked me if I would be interested to take a job in sysad for a very large company that was expanding in Europe. I was half mid my PhD but I said why not. The job ended up being way way more than sysadmin, I started a few centers in Europe from scratch, learned a heap and the rest is history. This was not exactly a side project but rather a hobby that one day on an IRC channel changed my life.
