I distinctly remembering Flemming making a speech, but why did we not document that event properly? I guess you have to have some precognition to know when something becomes a historic event and then document the heck out of it ;-) 10 Mar 2005 @ 22:55 by Ed @66.245.205.65 : precog Try looking at yourself in the now from a viewpoint in the future? ;-) Ed 10 Mar 2005 @ 23:13 by ming : NewCiv10 Yeah, 10 years, that's amazing. And co-founder Max here had a good deal to do with it. He's the one who thought about setting up a server, which he was running at his house, on a permanently dialed-up 28.8 modem line. Which worked well for an amazing amount of time. And after that, that same 386 server, with 16MB of RAM, was running newciv.org for an amazing amount of time on my T1 in Venice Beach. For a while it even lived in a box outside in the parking lot, after we had moved out, and covertly drilled a hole in the wall for the T1 line. Then, after it got replaced, and after a few years in my garage, it got a ceremonial burial. And, yeah, I certainly still have one of those CDs, ready for future archaeologists to find. For those who don't know, it was a complete copy of everything on the server at some point in time, back in 1995. Which was something that was cool and made sense at the time, so one could access it all while one was off line. And, really, there was a lot of stuff there even back then. And I don't remember my speech in Gunter's backyard, but I guess that's all the more reason we should have documented the event. 11 Dec 2007 @ 07:46 by Vaxen Var @67.33.253.33 : Mundo Futuro "Contos Verdadeiros dos Mundos Estrangheiros" Trance-late and trance a lot! Translation, sort of: "The true content of foreign/strange worlds?" - OSS RA translation (Since Dada Max has not responded in 7 years) Or Wirth at his best as coming from Darmstadt? Or...little purple pills for little purple people who have read a certain little purple book and escaped the dharma chains of virtual spaces ConCur-rently saboserpiently denying their scienologically parmetaframeworks. Denial is... Incidentally this is from the future of your is... 17 Dec 2007 @ 18:12 by mx @189.68.173.77 : contos "True stories from strange worlds" is the title translation.. better late than never.. and, Flemming, we had funeral for the first newciv server in your backyard in Van Nuys... :-) together with my old Mac... oh well, what a time...
