I certainly am.  8)

I presented at FAST ~3 years ago or so with the SSRC (Storage Systems
Research Center) at UCSC.  The paper we presented was effectively a SAN,
although it was before I'd ever heard the acronym bandied about.

I learned a lot from that conference.  That was the first place I'd heard
of schemes that just might work for accessing MRAM with the same relative
constraints as a hard disk.
