So, in response to a request I received last week, I dug up my notebooks. I've kept notes rather diligently since getting slapped upside the head by someone I worked with for having poor time management routines (skills? I had no time management skills).

Anyone, I was floored by what I wrote in 1993 and 1994. I forgot that by this time in 1993 I was actively helping publish books to the internet (using gopher and ftp...bet three out of four of you don't know what gopher even is). I wrote a gopher server for VM. Was working on one for MVS until it became apparent that we really needed a web server. The web server itself got shot down by people in the Networking divison in Raleigh.

Anyway...I just thought it was funny that a lot of the problems I took notes about in 1993 and 1994 (before I was actively involved in www.ibm.com) came up over and over again when I was working on ibm.com, and you even see now.

I guess we never learn. I sure didn't, and I know IBM hasn't.
