Internet History

I was involved in a few interesting efforts in the early history of the internet and world-wide web:

• Beginnings and History the Music Instruction Software Page, one of the first pages about music and music instruction on the internet, and my first major internet project. The article talks about what it was like to create and maintain a web page in the very early days of the world-wide web. You can also see the most recent version of the page (now sadly VERY out of date) and the last working version of the page on Archive.org.
  
  
• I was involved in the fight against the effort to censor the internet in the late 1990s. See The Indecency Page and the original uncensored version of The Indecency Page.
  
  
• I was involved in the Distributed Internet Crack (DIC), one of the first massive distributed internet computing projects, which used approx. 10,000 computers to break 48-bit RC5 in 13 days in 1997. My involvement was mostly in helping to write press releases and information summaries once the crack was completed.
