Sloe Times

You know, something occurred to me earlier when I was submitting my last post and the thought finally had enough time to stew that it came together. Back in about '92-'93 home pages were a lot like blogs. Primarily they were journals by students or staff doing research on one thing or another and they cross referenced one another etc. etc.

Seeing as the popularity of blogging has been, and is, increasing it was just a funny thought to note that the big ol' wheel just keeps on turning around and around. Granted things are fancier now that were in the age of Viola (mid 92?) or Mosaic (late 93, which became Netscape). Granted apparently development of Viola has kept up while Mosaic on the other hand has gone the way of the dinosaur. Back in the day, your editor option was vi or emacs (the again, your anything of choice back then was emacs for editing, reading mail, reading Usenet, etc) and the web server of choice was CERN httpd followed by NCSA httpd (which became, after Rob left NCSA, Apache).

Anyways, this link filled trip down memory lane was brought you by the letter S and the number 3.
