let alone the acronyms that i am and will be flooded with througout life in the antarctic program (AOD,CDC, CHC, MCM, NPX, PQ, DEN, MSP, LAX, RPSC, NSF, SPSM, ACKBAR, SPUMONI, NYANG, just to name a few), the windows server 2003 class that i am currently taking is loading them up as well. a selection:

DHCP, DNS, A, PTR, SOA, SRV, NS, MX, CNAME, RR, SF, CF, ISP, NetBIOS, TTL, TCP/IP, RFC 1542, IXFR, AXFR, IPSec, NAT, PPTP, MPPE, UDP, L2TP, VPN, ICS, HTTP, LAN.

and that’s just acronyms. the terms easily bury that short list.

some are familiar, some i’m learning greater depth of.

mostly my brain just hurts.
