- spokeonawheel 3y agodid you make the CD's?
- schemescape 3y agoWhat issues did you run into using Tcl? (If any)
- evilstark 3y agoHey George! We should catch up! (to readers: I was the guy who hired George as an intern and he was awesome. so AMA too!) AOLServer was so, so, so far ahead of it's time. It had a WYSIWYG HTML editor years before Dreamweaver that could post content to the server. The integrated (Illustra!) Database and TCL interpreter meant you could build basically anything with it. Props to Jimbo and Doug... We built what I think might have been the worlds first massively multi-homed, self-provisioning hosting service (called, creatively, "Navi-Service") with it. Think Linode but in 1997.
