May 19, 2009: First Server
This is it, the root of all evil... the reason your house is a mess, the dirty laundry piled high, and your car overdue for an oil change.
Sitting in a glass case in Switzerland, at CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire), the European Council for Nuclear Research, is the world's first web server. Quote:

Al Gore's name was Berners-Lee in 1990?

He changed it, American voters were not ready for hyphenated names.

What's that object to the right of the keyboard, right behind the mouse? White, squarish thing, looks like it's got some kind of display on it.

Wow! I forgot there were such things. Glad today's kids don't have to rely on such archaic things. I forgot, how did we play spider solitaire with books?

It may take some getting used to. I actually remember the day one of our professors called me up at work and said, "I read an article about something called the World Wide Web in the New York Times... do you know anything about it?" |

My 15 minutes of near fame. I worked at Spyglass in Champaign Illinois just after they licensed the Mosaic source from NCSA. It was an exciting time. The web was just starting to take off.
Then Spyglass licensed the source to Microsoft. Microsoft started giving their browser away, and the browser market disappeared. Unless they've done a total rewrite on either of them, I have little bits of code in both IE and Outlook. (I also worked at CE software, who licensed the source for their calendar app to Microsoft. And the bottom dropped out of the calendar app market.)

Ahh, Spyglass... a name from the past.
My 15 seconds involved getting berated by Marc Andreessen on Usenet, for posting the location of an alpha version of Mosaic for MacOS that was supposed to be private. |

Yeah. Some of the Spyglass people came from NCSA. They had stories to tell.

I know it's not all your fault, but, can we blame you?

All the code I wrote was creative, well-crafted, finely engineered, and bullet-proof. In short, yeah go ahead.

Damm, who would have thought we would ever see a picture of Al Gore's desk.
