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 \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; Mice, an Icelandic company specializing in DNS software and services, in September, 2001. He is currently their Vice President, Research \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"O'Reilly Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51603092766994,"sku":"9780596004101","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_692eb780-859c-4ac5-ab5d-9d66f4053aa6.jpg?v=1757423654","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/dns-bind-cookbook-solutions-examples-for-system-administrators-9780596004101","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
