Brad met
Joe and Ben while working at the
CompUSA computer store in 1999-2001. Brad worked behind the tech counter and
Joe and Ben were in sales. We all started getting together and learning
things from each other.
Ben and Brad got an apartment in 2002, and a house later the same year.
Ben and Brad currently live in the home of this webserver, in Madison Heights,
MI, along with the rest of the Madison Heights LAN. Joe lives less than two miles away in nearby Warren, alongside the Warren LAN. In an effort to learn
about VPN tunnelling, Brad and Joe connected these two LANs with an IPSEC
tunnel in 2006. The idea is being thrown around about setting up an ISDN
backup to learn more about ISDN.
Before Brad met Joe and Ben, he met John at a company Brad worked at previously.
Brad and John also talk frequently about their technical hobbies.
John lives four miles south of the webserver in
Hazel Park.
