You know those people who work in technology. They get in their crowd and talk about the wierdest things. iSCSI, SAN, kernel, c++, IDM, beans, home (when it doesn't have anything to do with a house), fabric (having nothing to do with cloth), and on and on. I admit it. I am one of those tech people. I try not to let people outside of work know that too much. You know how it goes. You say you are and engineer, and they ask you if you know how to repair their TV. You say you work with computers, and immediately they think you can tell them why their document won't open, and why things are so slow. Of course my family knows what I do, but they just can not understand that a laptop is not the same as a server with 100 CPUs and half a Terabyte of memory.
Unfortunately, I think I've been outed, and I might have done it myself. Someone the other day was talking about their small business thingy and how they were going to spend some really good cash to get up and running on the web. Before I knew it, I was practically yelling at them to STOP. I unloaded on how so many things are available for free now. In the process, a couple of other people came by to hear the conversation, and oh no. My little technologist secret is out. I guess my faking dumb, either by silence or otherwise covert method, has go to GO.
That being said, if you have a really good iSCSI impementation, it would be cool to hear about it.
