Awesome stuff! So refreshing to read something this cool about the early ages of the WWW. Back then being a web developer meant you actually needed to be an engineer, knowing the ins and outs of Computer Science, Operating Systems and Networks. Very cool to see concrete examples of using Bash. Makes me want to go back to basics and learn Bash all over again. Hopefully, you'll continue writing about your developer stories.

Thanks, it was a fun project. I am thinking of a story where I had to learn a new assembly language during a 4 hour flight to the west coast. Can you say primative? The computer was the first briefcase sized and only had a Teletype with papertape read/punch for input/output. The operator had to enter the "boot loader" via 16 bit switches on the front of the computer.
