Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think there is a red button for that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

21 years ago yesterday, the world's first website appeared:

First website ever created shows how far Web design has come | DVICE

The actual page: The World Wide Web project

The WorldWideWeb (W3) is a wide-area hypermedia information retrieval initiative aiming to give universal access to a large universe of documents.

Everything there is online about W3 is linked directly or indirectly to this document, including an executive summary of the project, Mailing lists , Policy , November's W3 news , Frequently Asked Questions .

The list of client (browser) and server software is fun: W3 Software

Most of the software is Unix. However, a pre-alpha browser for the Mac is available.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wish we still called it W3. Trey-Dub!

Ben said one of the kids at school who participates in Young Life asked him if he wanted to come to a meeting, and Ben told him he had plans with Satan that day.

Ha, that's awesome. Good on him.

So, I'm back at work today! It's weird. Feels like my old life again. Huh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The other business analyst in the group hasn't signed the NDA and he's sulky every time a topic comes up that I can't go into detail on. It's certainly not a reflection on the quality of our work--he never puts a foot wrong. It just involves my software, that's all. But he's taking it personally, especially since he's been tasked with managing the fallout of the error in my release two weeks ago. I haven't had to face the music on that one, and I'm not looking forward to it. But people are also discouraging me from asking the developer who said she'd verified the change what she had actually done, since she missed the fact we broke stuff.

Oh shit, I remember when it looked like that.

The browser I used was: Web Crawler.

Which had a spider icon. Jilli would've loved it.

I remember pre-WWW when I was going to University owned FTP sites to download geeky academic spiels about Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol.

I thought that was the most amazing thing ever.
