As a former data center technician, I wouldn't say it's too far off

But we're all ape people.

I mean, when I last worked in a NOC, we used to call ourselves "NOC monkeys", so yeah. IF you're in the NOC, you're a NOC monkey, if you're on the floor, you're a floor monkey. And so on.

Same with "SOC monkeys". (Which carries the additional pun of sounding like the "sock monkey" toy.)

Are you fucking kidding me?

We even had a site and operation for a long while called:

"NOC MONKEY .DOT ORG"

We called all of ourselves NOC MONKEYS. [[Remote Hands]]

Yeah, that was a term used widely.

I'm 46. I assume you are < #

Where were you in 1997 building out the very first XML implementations to replace EDI from AS400s to FTP EDI file retrievals via some of the first Linux FTP servers based in SV?

I was there? Remember LinuxCare?

Are you ok, Sir?

Weren't able to get their ego-fill on facebook like normally.
