It definitely started at 9:30, and it was very short.
Boring actually. But that's the way it should have been. Not like this =
was
a surprise. Even the reporter from ZDNet asked "since we gave out the =
last
2 to APNIC last week, why is this day important?" If ZDNet gets it, =
NANOG
(actually *NOG) members should as well.
That said, I guess just like when any long time friend leaves us, we =
should
have a ceremony to mark the passing.
