Google, circa 1998

Google, circa 1998 05/02/2004 03:25 PM

Thanks to the ever impressive Internet Archive (did you know they host old public information films as well?) here's Google's homepage from 1998. Their searchable index was slightly less than 25 million pages, their hardware was less than a dozen machines apparently held together with lego and their crawler was called BackRub. Following the links will take you to Sergey and Larry's homepages, where digging a little deeper will even uncover the now infamous Sergey-in-drag photo.

My favourite insight though comes from the Legos page (why do American's insist on adding an 's'?) on Larry's site:

I attriubute a great deal of my understanding and ability with mechanical devices to Legos and similar construction toys.

I've often thought that the most important factor in leading me to geek-hood, apart from a C64, was a serious obsession with Lego Technic from an early age.

I've avoided posting about the Google IPO because know nothing of the world of finance, but you've gotta love that Google's initial IPO valuation is e * 10 ^ 9.

On Belaugh House circa 1900...

On Belaugh House circa 1900... 01/07/2004 04:48 PM

Here's something quite special (for me at least). While I was up in Norfolk over Christmas, my mother showed me a picture that had been taken of our home shortly after it had been completed (circa 1900). It may sound ridiculous, but I find it extraordinary how immediately recognisable it remains despite all the additions and removals and reorganisations that it's suffered/enjoyed over the last century. Particularly astonishing for me is that the little pine trees that you can see dotted around the lawn are still there today and are now about twice the height of the house itself. And those little trees you can see dotted around the gate and around the drive-way are now enormous mature horse chestnut trees with branches that hang low as you come into the garden and shelter that whole side of the garden in dabbled sunlight through the spring.

I love the idea that the house has gradually settled into its location over the years, that it has made its environment its home just as we made it ours. It doesn't look like a block perched on a hill surrounded by fields any more. Now it looks like a part of the landscape. And that makes me think more about the nature of artisanship - particularly that the creators of the house and garden built something that wouldn't even start to look its best until decades after they had died. I wonder whether the current vogue for disposable, short-term buildings means that we're cheating ourselves of that settled-in, mature feel - as if all our buildings were like unripened flavourless cheeses that we never respected enough to come into their own.

I'd love to work on something that had that kind of presence in time, that wasn't going to vanish or mutate overnight. I wonder whether that's why so many web people still want things in print or physical media. Because that way the artefact can age and mellow with them - even after them. That they need that sense that they've created something living that will change and deepen through time just as steadily as it will endure.

NYC Subway Gets a Computerized Facelift
(AP) 04/10/2005 05:37 PM
AP - A subway train rattles halfway into Union Square station in Manhattan and shudders to a halt. Over a crackle of static, a voice on the PA system announces congestion ahead and says it will be several minutes before service resumes. Trapped commuters sigh and glance at their watches impatiently. Some simply close their eyes in resignation. This sort of thing — and much worse — has been happening quite a lot lately. So it's no surprise that transit snafu-weary New Yorkers are greeting with ambivalence this month's launch of fully computer-automated trains on a 22-mile line that intersects Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Cute Puzzle

Cute Puzzle 03/11/2003 09:44 AM

I saw this puzzle linked to here. Go play with it and then you can see how it works.

Basically what it asks you to do always produces a number that is a multiple of 9, which can be proven easily.

z = (10*x + y) - (x + y)
z = (10*x - x) + (y - y)
z = 9*x

So the puzzle functions by just placing the same symbol at each multiple of 9. Still, it's a cute trick, since the puzzle actually changes the symbol when you reload it. :)
