Cricket Liu Cricket Liu matriculated at the University of California's Berkeley campus, that great bastion of free speech, unencumbered Unix, and cheap pizza. He joined Hewlett-Packard after graduation and worked for HP for nine years. Cricket began managing the hp.com zone after the Loma Prieta earthquake forcibly transferred the zone's management from HP Labs to HP's Corporate Offices (by cracking a sprinkler main and flooding Labs' computer room). Cricket was hostmaster@hp.com for over three years, and then joined HP's Professional Services Organization to cofound HP's Internet Consulting Program. Cricket left HP in 1997 to form Acme Byte & Wire, a DNS consulting and training company, with his friend (and now co-author) Matt Larson. Network Solutions acquired Acme in June 2000, and later the same day merged with VeriSign. Cricket worked for a year as Director of DNS Product Management for VeriSign Global Registry Services. Cricket joined Men & Mice, an Icelandic company specializing in DNS software and services, in September, 2001. He is currently their Vice President, Research & Development. Cricket, his wife, Paige, and their son, Walt, live in Colorado with two Siberian Huskies, Annie and Dakota. On warm weekend afternoons, you'll probably find them on the flying trapeze or wakeboarding behind Betty Blue. View Cricket Liu's full profile page. |
Colophon Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of DNS and BIND Cookbook is an opossum. Opossums are solitary, nocturnal mammals. They can be found in forests, fields, marshes, and farmlands, living in hollowtrees, old buildings, and the abandoned dens of other animals. Opossums have clawless opposable toes on their hind feet that they can use like thumbs to grasp and hold onto branches. They can also hang by their tails for short periods of time. Opossums are the only North American marsupial: their young are born partially developed, and then carried by the female in a pouch called a marsupium for seven to ten weeks. The North American opossum is called the Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana). Opossums are not aggressive. The phrase "playing possum" comes from an involuntary behavior the opossum exhibits when frightened: it rolls over, closes its eyes, and lays still. As its heartbeat slows, the animal gives the appearance of death, causing many predators to lose interest. When the opossum recovers from its shock, it wakes up and walks away. Opossum predators include foxes, coyotes, owls, and cars. Colleen Gorman was the production editor and the proofreader for DNS and BIND Cookbook. Linley Dolby and Jane Ellin provided quality control. Lucie Haskins wrote the index. Ellie Volckhausen designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font. David Futato designed the interior layout. This book was converted to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is Lucas-Font's TheSans Mono Condensed. This colophon was written by Colleen Gorman. |
