oh right, i'm smart.

i went to "security camp" because it was free and looked like a chance to be technical and maybe network with folks and also because i knew one of the guys presenting and he's interesting and informative and smart.

and it was really quite nice to be in a situation dealing with technical people interacting all technically and getting to remember "oh, right, all that stuff about 'world class' and 'expert troubleshooting skills' and such that i put on cover letters isn't just idle boasting."
