I invented blogging!

Since setting up this blog, I've been getting a strange, familiar feeling. Then I remembered. I invented the blog! OK, that may be overstating the case slightly, but take a look at this link that I found on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

It's my first ever website, built in the early part of 1996, originally hosted on the minuscule amount of space we were given on Bristol University's servers. I decided to keep a virtual diary, with links backwards and forwards between pages. It's pretty primitive - but then there was no graphical web design software in those days. It was all hand-coded. It looks like I only managed to keep it going for a couple of weeks, but I was quite the pioneer, wasn't I?

I wonder if this blog will keep going for any longer.
