Ethan Katz-Bassett graduated from Williams College in 2001, spent 3 years as a ski instructor in Taos, New Mexico, then decided to go to graduate school. He is working towards a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Washington and expects to graduate in about a year. Ethan’s dissertation work is on measurement-based global-scale Internet monitoring systems, and he’ll be speaking about Hubble, one such system he developed. Hubble identifies and monitors Internet black holes, when a network is reachable from some locations and not others for extended periods of time. It has been running for almost a year now, and one of the goals of the project is to eventually have a measurement deployment with probers located in every edge network on the Internet.

HP was an amazing sponsor this year for Gnomedex. Anne Finney and her team did a fantastic job. On day 2, they announced a giveaway of one TouchSmart PC to a lucky attendee. In order to enter, people had to write a Limerick that dealt with Gnomedex in some way, and record it. We then uploaded the videos and Limericks to my blog, and opened a poll for two weeks.
