The internet circa 1981

We had our first web team meeting last night.  I think we’re all totally excited by the possibilities.  No one’s in it for money or glory, we simply want to bring this project into wonderful existence.

It’s definitely a different vibe than most of the other work that I do.  I rarely lead stuff that I have next to no competence on, but it’s going to be an interesting journey ahead.

Currently we’re looking at using a mysql backend with third party api’s over a ruby on rails framework and an ajax-ified front-end… Does that make any sense to anyone?  I’m barely grasping it all too.

Here’s a news report on the early stages of the internet.  Developers described it as something they just wanted to create, even though there was probably no money in it.
