Description:
The roots of modern digital computing go back nearly two hundred
years, and through a series of pass-around artifacts from the past
century, we will explore how the pioneers of the field and their
groundbreaking decisions and technologies have led us -- for better
or worse -- to today's Internet-enabled world.
About Sebastian:
Mr. Lindley has been in the computer industry since he sold his
first program (a printer driver for Heathkit HDOS) in 1980. He has
used system from the earliest 8-bit microprocessors, through the
PDP-11 and VAX, up to IBM mainframes, and has managed to write
programs that did not crash on most of them. Mr. Lindley has been a
GNU/Linux user since 1992 and has been free of proprietary software
since 2001. Most recently he has been pleased to be an adjunct
