Nice repost Paul - isnt that sound intoxicating.  And even though I've been in the IT industry for 35 years I am still blown away by the technology that allows a high quality video like that to be streamed from some server somewhere in the ether, through endless connections down to my home and over wifi to my laptop sitting on the SPAM bench.  On demand, no interuptions, running within a couple of seconds of me clicking on the link.  Tim Berners-Lee must be proud!

For me and all my troglodyte friends out there

Tim Berners-Lee must be proud

Thanks Alister i have often wondered who's idea the www was

One of his basic principles was that he wanted to access data in the same way as his brain worked - i.e. be able to jump directly from one train of thought or one place to another.  He also wanted to create those links such that they would always be "live", i.e. that continued to link to current data regardless of whether it was updated or not.  We call that a URL.

And here's me thinking it was just a way for the boffins to share their pr0n

Still - the 33 sounded good!
