<a
href=http://rick.net/
>Rick Lilly</a> used to be the Technical Editor of Websight Magazine.
Now he primarily does professional web site design and consulting.
I've known him since Freshman year of college.

<p>

<a
href=http://playground.shoreside.com/automan/
>Trent Parker</a> is an important chip designer at C-Cube working on DVD
video and audio decoding chips, so he's right on the cutting edge.  He
is now married to Jenny Xu Parker as of February 14, 1998. 
Here's some
<a 
href="http://drivel.com/jlick/images/JennyTrentWedding/"
>pictures of the wedding</a> where I was honored to be a groomsman.
I've also known Trent and Jenny since Freshman year of college.  They will
be moving into a brand new home as soon as it is finished being built,
probably mid-June 1998.


<p>

We are currently sharing a 4 bedroom townhouse in Santa Clara, California 
which is commonly called "Shoreside" in our crowd.  
Shoreside has served for many years as a nexus for our group of friends, most
of us together since college or earlier.  Most of us are advanced geeks of
one or more technical fields, although there are some exceptions.
Since Trent is moving soon, we may be added a new person to this list.
Who will it be?

Here's a map of where Shoreside is:

<p>

As part of being a nexus for our group, Shoreside has also served as housing
for many of us at one time or another.

<p>

<a
href=http://www.tcp.com/~gnome/
>Andy Perrine</a>
moved out in late
December 1995 into his own two bedroom apartment in The Collonade
in downtown San Jose.

<p>

A longtime friend I've known since Junior High,
<a
href=http://www.tcp.com/~greg/
>Greg Kolanek</a>
moved into a new two bedroom house in Mountain View in December 1995, 
which he now has all to himself.  Greg used to be a rock star.

<p>

<a
href=http://www.tcp.com/~izumi/
>James Park</a>
is now living in a studio apartment in San Francisco, although he spends
a lot of nights sleeping on our couch when he is too lazy to go all the
way home.  We lured him out to California a couple of years ago with tales
of riches and adventures.  He hasn't been let down on those promises.

<p>

<a
href=http://www.tcp.com/~jennifer/
>Jennifer</a>
(the artist formerly known as stella) moves around more often then most
people wash their cars.  Now in a two bedroom duplex in Mountain View.
She also has a new dog named Dawson.

<p>

<a
href=http://www.tcp.com/~iceman/
>Mike Niles</a>
who once upon a time slept on Trent's floor has been living more
respectably lately, most recently in Mountain View.

<p>

When not trying to survive in the cultural and racist backwaters of
North Carolina, 
<a
href=http://www.tcp.com/~mint/
>Eddie Park</a>
(younger brother of
<a
href=http://www.tcp.com/~izumi/
>James Park</a>)
comes out to visit the Shoreside crew in California.  He's spent so much
time here that he almost counts as a Roommate, although we're nice enough
not to charge him rent.  When he's back in North Carolina he studies the
Martial Arts and Literature.  We've been trying to lure him out here
permanently like his brother, but so far he has been resistant to our
charms.

<p>

<a
href=http://www.tcp.com/~rosminah/
>Rosminah Brown</a>
is a friend of several years who keeps us up to date on her life
through her web page.  She is
studying plants at at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew in England currently.

<p>

<a
href=http://www.tcp.com/~jen/
>Jen Kolanek</a>
(younger sister of 
<a
href=http://www.tcp.com/~greg/
>Greg Kolanek</a>)
is a recent college graduate, and a more recent import to the Bay Area.  She is
a professional in graphic design and web design.  She is also an anime fan
and has a good explanation of what Anime is on her web page.  She also writes
and draws her own on-line comic book, so check it out!  She resides in
Mountain View with her cat Teazer.

I work with great people at Sun, many of whom qualify for the friends
category.  Some of them have web pages.  As you can tell, I consider
which people have cats to be an important attribute.

<p>

<a
href=http://www.tcp.com/~ppb/
>Pom Bajar</a>
is currently my manager, although he is currently filling two positions.
Once a replacement is found I'll only have a 'dotted line' to Pom.
Pom is easily bribed with spicy food or Star Wars/Star Trek paraphenalia.
Can be found at Thai lunches about once a week.

<p>
I recently changed jobs.  None of my current group has web pages other than the
boss man, at least that I know of.  Here's some of the people from my old
group though:

<p>

<a
href=http://www.tcp.com/~bucaro/
>Edward Bucaro</a> 
likes to tell bad jokes, and also has a photography business on the side.

<p>

<a
href=http://futon.sfsu.edu/~hanson/
>Alan Hanson</a>
is best known for his dark and cluttered office and his car which hasn't
moved from the Sun parking lot in months.  When not caring for his pet
John Destefano, he can be found sys-unconfig'ing systems or playing DOOM.

<p>

<a
href=http://warp.org/dan.html
>Dan Ritzman</a>
is a hard worker and likes some Anime.  He lives in a house
full of high-tech guys similiar to Shoreside.  Dan is a vegeterian, but
not a very strict one.  He will still eat Animal Cookies.  This page has
more info about Dan than his own now.

<p>

The rest of my old group don't have web pages that I know of, but some of
them require special mention.  Chris Hendricks is my most recent officemate,
before I got my own
<a
href="http://drivel.com/album/19980214_Maggie_Hsia_Pictures/JimOffice-0512.html"
>window office</a>.
He's a wacky guy who has two cats named Soup and Frog.
Prior to that I shared the same office with Robert Muinde who is now one of
the big network gurus at Sun.
Debbie Wong is another one of those spicy-food lovers who goes to Thai
lunch every week.

<p>
<a
href="http://lusty.org"
>Lusty Wench</a> is a sysadmin over in the Corp side of things.  I've
recently worked with her while she was substituting for someone for three
months on the Strategic Infrastructure Team.  She has an 'interesting' web
page.  She also has two cats.

<p>
<br>
<br>

<a
href=http://www.indyramp.com/~rnovak/
>Robert Novak</a>
formerly worked at Sun as a contractor and has since moved on to Bay
Networks.  He has a cat, so he can't be too bad, but keep an eye on him.

<p>

<a
href=http://www.tcp.com/~mary/
>Mary Cardenas</a>
shared an office with me for a while at my previous job at 
<a
href=http://www.ucsb.edu/
>UCSB</a>.
Now she's
an assistant professor at Harvey Mudd and people have to call her "Doctor."
She shares her life with several cats, so she's obviously a cool person.
