"In Jan 89 I registered with the DDN NIC and got a Class B address for the whole BBC on the pretext of linking all BBC sites into one network and then the Internet (but a dream then) it seemed a good idea rather than make up addresses as lots used to do)." http://support.bbc.co.uk/support/history.html Written (I think) by Brandon Butterworth. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Cashmore Sent: 23 April 2007 10:39 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [backstage] The real backstage story?

Looking at the technical history of bbc.co.uk and how it developed and launched - and how it's evolved, and finally how it's moving forward. Of course we'd have to have an episode demonstrating how much tape, elastic bands and sheer will of God holds the whole thing together. m On 22/4/07 13:42, "Lamptey, Derryck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > RoR, spring, hibernate....
