My colleague Bruce just asked me why there weren’t any pictures from my home office versions prior to what I call “version 5”. Good question. Probably because the pictures aren’t too great and I don’t actually have all that many. I can’t even find a single decent (or indecent!) image from back in the earlier days of the office. But I did find a few older ones that predate the “version 5” so I’ve given them a nice little page of their own. Don’t ask me what the specs were on the systems that were there at the time since most of these date back to, I believe, between 1999 and 2001. So yeah, these are a decade old and most of them were shot with an Olympus E-10, one of the first digital SLR’s on the market back then. For those who pay attention, yes, there were still a fewAmiga’s around at the time but even in the 1999 period I didn’t use them. A friend once said I only used those Amiga’s to keep dust of my desks and in a way he was right about that. My use of Amiga’s died off sometime around 1991-1992.
Adaptive Infinity trying to intimidate a blogger over a comment?
I just learned that John P. (you know, the founder of HTMLHelp.com and a person instrumental to the early development of HTML and CSS) has received a rather intimidating letter from Adaptive Infinity in which they are threatening John with a legal suit over a comment that someone left on his blog while at the same time showing a different, less threatening face, on John’s blog by leaving the following comments. Clearly using his blog for their own PR and marketing purposes and perhaps as a means to perform some kind of amateurish corporate damage control.
