And, I nailed it!

By the way, this is the first post that I write using the new Google Chrome browser, and I already love it. Way more than firefox, opera and Safari. But it still have couple of issues to fix. (I had flash crash on me, tinyMCE render incorrectly, and a few other minor issues)

I remember couple of years ago, I was telling a fellow colleague of mine on the work I was doing on capturing, classifying and preventing spammers on the Internet. I was mentioning how my quick prototype has yielded millions of suspicious IPs and how I envisioned IP address reputation to be useful for preventing future attacks. Then, I remember clearly how I said, "now if there was anyway I could make a living out of this"...

My friend soon moved to Cisco systems, and started working on other hard problems while I continued my work in security and authentication, until the opportunity came knocking. It wasn't something I was going to take lightly and I totally jumped on it.

The work I've done, with a number of demonstrations, and my understanding of how IP address reputation paid off, and soon, it will be more useful on the much larger scale.

Funny thing, I got a call from KJ while I was about to board a flight to Chicago during this process and briefly told him what I was about to. It wasn't clear at the time if I was going to get it or not. But I did, and oh boy, am I excited!

I guess over the next couple of years I will be super busy, putting theory to some good use. Hopefully, to help make spam a relic of the past.

And it all started, when I made the best decision I made in my whole life... Marrying the right person
