A blast from the past
This post doesn’t really have anything to do with MMISoftware, but tripping over this web page, got me thinking…
The web page mentioned above is supposedly one of the first webpages on the web, dating from, I guess, 1992. So I was trying to think when I saw my first webpage, and what browser was I using….
My guess would be possibly the summer of 1993, or the early spring of 1994 at the latest. Up until that point I had been using GopherSpace (see wikipedia quite a bit and ftp, but getting around the internet was difficult. I remember the first browser I used on a Mac couldn’t even load images, I think is was produced by the NCSA and later became Mosaic (wikipedia).
I do know that I wrote my first webpage, and put together my first website, in the summer of 1994. The site, believe it or not, is still going strong and has ‘morphed’ in to the ‘Henley Pages‘, my then home town…
How time flies? Which reminds me of a great old joke ‘Time flies like an arrow; Fruit Flies like a banana’.
Update: Just found a photo online of the ‘first web server’ – the picture
