'Underneath'
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.
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.
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.
The WorldWideWeb (W3) is a wide-area hypermedia information retrieval initiative aiming to give universal access to a large universe of documents.
They misspelled "...aiming to give universal access to a large universe of CAT PICTURES."
The actual page: The World Wide Web project
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.

Steph, that's good news about your brother. He did a really hard thing.

It's weird at first, huh? Enjoy it, though!

You sure it was FTP and not Gopher? If it was FTP, then it was probably Archie, which was pioneered by my very own alma mater. Wahoo.
God, I'm blanking entirely on shit for this project, but at least I know I'm not blanking as much as, oh, EVERYONE ELSE, because I'm sending them emails going "Have you done this yet?" and their responses are all "Oh! Uh..."
The first book I bought on the Internet described the Word Wide Web as "experimental." still, it was enough to get me to want to get on the Internet. But this was '93, and I couldn't find a way to access the Internet.

Pretty sure? That's the first time I encountered the phrase File Transfer Protocol.
I remember using ARCHIE and VERONICA. I eventually found a dial-up BBS that would give me command-line access to the Internet.
