During my life I have written a lot of software, most, but not all of it from my home on Pluto. One of the first thing I did when I arrived at 4114 Senset Beach Drive in Olympia was check out a modem from Evergreen State College, and with a simple logging on to a game I managed to update all the files on the college mainfram time-share computer system, using so software I had already prepared. I'm still not sure of all teh names of the people who were online at that time, but I'm sure most of them have heard of me now.
Another thing I did at evergreen was to work with one of two prototype OCR machines, on loan from Boeing. To show the power of the big corporations in those days, IBM who had the biggest selling office typewriter at that time, the selectric, made a special 'golf ball' for the OCR machine with a delta or triangle symbol on it, which acted as a paragraph symbol, or linefeed. We typed the copy with teh typewriter and scanned it onto the flatbed scanner, and it produced a five level punched tape which we then took to the Daily O, the local newspaper for their computer to use to set the copy which came back on photographic paper. The thing was I wrote an extra line of dots into teh paper tape so the computers could have some fun sharing the secrets of Evergreen with the newspaper's computer. I have no idea what information was shared.
Another piece of software I wrote was for an address called http://www.ww.com This is a JavaScript camera site which was supposed to build a community, but it has never fulfilled the original concept, being taken over by some dubious characters who want to run it as a sleezy sex site. The concept was to have a corruption free site where all the downloads (streaming cameras) had all their software returned and checked for 100% correctness to avoid all sorts of software being inserted into the code, but the modern trend among IT providers has been to have fast download speeds, with much slower upload speeds, to save costs (what savings?) and to charge not for a monthly service at a reasonable price, but to also charge for data at ridiculous rates.
