Description
what is deadsquid.com all about, anyways?
I get this question a lot, and have always meant to have a short history on the subject. Here it is:
A long, long time ago, on a university campus not so far from here, a small incubator company was born. Its founders had convinced the federal government that they should try this cool new thing called the interweeb to connect schools (and their students and faculty) together. The project was called Schoolnet, and what started as a contract to architect how Schoolnet would be constructed turned into several projects and a start-up called Ingenia Communications.
Ingenia was about 4 years ahead of its time. It introduced me to this weird thing called the world wide web and an application called a web browser. The broswer was called Mosaic, but there was this derivative product called Netscape. It was so early in the game, Netscape’s download icon looked like a bunch of windchimes, followed shortly by a throbbing blue “N”. Websites were mostly text-based with the odd .gif file thrown in for some 16-colour-VGA-palette goodness, and gopher was a protocol, not an employee or friend. But I digress…
