The World’s First Web Server and Disqus

The World’s First Web Server, originally uploaded by sbisson.

It’s hard to believe, but this little NeXT cube is the first web server ever. It always surprised me that the internet has changed so much, so quickly and computers are becoming smarter and smarter every day. The crazy thing is that the internet is now “evolving” at an exponential rate and some of the things that once looked impossible are now looking very, very possible. Enough of that though, just thought it was a cool picture with a ton of history behind it.

In other news, I changed the theme to the site around a bit and also added support for Disqus, Facebook Connect, and the ability to post from your Twitter account. I encourage anyone who wants to leave a comment to post via one of those methods as it allows for very organized discussion and tracking via twitter with a community sort of comment overview available here. Anyways, pretty soon I’ll have a lot of time free and probably be spending some more time working with some Rails plugins I’ve been working on. I’ll let you know once I have any code up on Github or anything like that.

As a little side note, has anyone done any work with Sproutcore? I was really interested in using it in a rails app and was wondering if it’s relatively easy to use inside of a rails app.
