Happy 'Internaut Day!' It's been 32 years since British scientist Tim Berners-Lee revolutionized the internet with his invention of the World Wide Web. He initially built it to store and collaborate on documents across the internet, but it soon became so much more, paving the way for the first web browser, search engine and social media site. You can still view the first ever website!

Cool! One of my Internet favorites is in the Fediverse! With their own server! Among many other things, I use it for researching family history.

On the bus today I heard an announcement that included a website address with a "forward" slash.

The has been available for 30 years now. URLs have never contained backslashes (AFAIK). Are any web users still getting forward and backslashes confused?

some for fellow old web nerds:

if you had a in the early 90s, you probably played the multiplayer tank battle game, Bolo.

and if you played Bolo, you probably visited jolo's Bolo Home Page was *the* bolo resource on the web. it moved around from various web hosts, first from their' Duke University's Med School web space, to lgm.com where it lived for ten years.

lgm.com was cybersquatted in the late 2000s, and the bolo home page disappeared from the public consciousness.

the site has hundreds of individual pages, and exploring its pages truly feels like an exercise in hyperlinking.

i spent the last few days recovering the site from IA and rebuilt its absolute link structure. please enjoy the Bolo Home Page for the first time in 15 years :)
