The early days of the internet

    Around 1992 I used to go into TCD to play online games ("MUDS") in the computer lab under the train line. I would go there with my older brother, knock on the window, pretend we forgot our swipe card, and go online and play a very primitive text based game called "Endless Nameless". Sometimes a lecturer would come in and ask for my student card, but I would pretend I forgot it. I would say I am a "BESS" student. (Business Economic and Social Studies). I was 14 years old and wearing a tracksuit. They would believe me.

    It was incredibly exciting playing this game as I could chat to people in America and England and interact with them.

    Fast forward three years later and I have begun a computer science diploma in DIT Kevin Street. On the back of a computer magazine I saw an IBM advert saying they "powered the hyperweb". Curious I went into the computer lab with a college friend, found an application called Netscape and opened the IBM website. It was a thrilling experience. Although the PC was a 386 and slow as hell, I didn't care. Seeing that website load was amazing.

    I then discovered webcrawler.com and pornsites. There were only about 150 of them at the time. "Amateurporn.com" was the biggest one at the time. Free porn pictures! Myself and my friend would stay in the computer lab after college spending one or two hours downloading a single image of a naked woman. Ridiculous? Yes, but we were 17 and didn't see anything wrong with it. It was worth it.

    We then discovered telnet and shell accounts and how we could join BBS systems around the world. Our favorite was a BBS in Ann Arbor in Michigan. It tooks hours to create your account, but we could go online and talk to Americans. This may sound like nothing now, but you have to remember at the time this type of thing was unheard of, and probably 99% of Irish people had never heard of the Internet.

    I remember looking at all the unregistered domain names (hardly any domain names were registered) thinking they were cool domains. It never occurred to me to register one of them.

    Back then the Internet was not a commercial place. It was full of people happy to be communicating with other people. But there was money to be made. I remember I used to laugh at all the stupid ideas (e.g. onlyballs.com - we only sell balls! $5 million funding) getting loads of funding. At the time I was a web developer/programmer who had no sense of the real world, so I never once thought I should use my web skills to make some money.

    ...

    Fast forward 16 years later and the Internet is like a strip mall full of tacky ****e. I still love it, but it doesn't thrill me like it used to. I wish it could.

    Know what I mean? :)

    A lot of what you wrote hit home to me. My first browser was Netscape 1.0 which came bundled with Indigo Ireland's (Ireland's second ISP?) welcome pack. I think this was around '94.

    The whole chat thing is what really amazed me the most. There was some graphical chat site called The Palace in which you controlled an avatar moving around different rooms and nattering away to people. Amused me no end at the time!

    Screaming at my Mum for picking up the phone and disconnecting me from the net was also a common thing, which is hilarious looking back on it now. :D

    Spent far too much time on the computers in the library in UCD in the early days - around 1988-1992 or so. There were a few macs in a room on the top floor, back left corner. The 'server' was in a little cabinet under the desk. Much fun was had when someone spotted that the cabinet was unlocked. I seem to recall desktop icons being changed -the early days of hacking . . .

    The other thing I remember from those days was an application called 'trickle' which you could use to request various files from around the world. You would set up your request (latest copy of BOFH for example), and come back the next day and it would have 'trickled' into your account overnight making use of the off peak capacity. Genius idea in my view - making good use of scarce resources.

    I remember as clear as a bell my first introduction to d'webs - two friends who couldn't get a job (now, that was a real recession) stayed on to do some postgrad stuff and they brought me into the lab one day. They downloaded a satellite weather image - I was blown away.

    The thing about those days is that they gave you (well, me anyway) a very, very good grounding in the basics of all sorts of IT things and it has stood to me for the last 20 years. Dang, they were the good old days.

    z

    p.s. also spent a huge amount of time on the terminals in the concourse (before they turned it into a poncy coffee shop), working out early versions of "how to do an awful lot of things with a loop statement" and updating what were known as the scheds - an early version of blogging, but you young folk wouldn't understand . . .

    I remember a site called sexontheinternet. That's pretty much it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 403 ✭✭Humans eh!


    Yeah TCD under the tracks, I wasn't a student but my girlfriend was. Good times, crazy assed 'Homepages' and long waits for a photo to slowlllly reveal itself.
    The net was much more amateurish and not so homogenised as it is now. While infinitely more informative user friendly and vast, todays web is so corporate and much more conformist than the early pioneers could have imagined. Its interesting to see it evolve so much but its lost something of its individuality (and garishness)

    Anyhoo thanks for the memories OP. I'm off to unravel the phone extension line across the floor, and load Windows 3.1 on my Wang. :D

    First time having Internet was with Ireland on Line IOL in 1995. Using a US Robotics 12K external modem, dog slow and expensive to use as it was the price of a continuous local call.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Wow thats old school, or is that skool.

    I started college in 1999 so the pioneering days were well over by then. But even 12 years ago the web was a much more innocent place. Shít Quake, that reminds me! Had a copy of Quake2 going around on a CD-R. Gave it to a bunch of people in my class to copy onto their common drives. Didnt think it would work so easily over the lan, but it did. Spent many a practical class deathmatching. The onboards graphics on the college pc's back then were atrocious but it got the job done. Good times.

    Remember finding someone else from the same country as you in a chat forum and chatting to each other like your life depended on it? You didn't want to know each other's opinions on anything really, you were just happy someone else from your country had internet access.

    Oh how I miss a few hundred thousand users online


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Ah yes, Indigo. Back in my day, my first experience with communicae on the internet was in the form of a Radiohead chatroom. All sorts of nerds on there who couldn't take a joke. I believe at the time I may have been engaged in the act of what you kids nowadays call mild trolling. :trollface:
    Mostly Americans but a couple of Irish in there which I thought was mad!!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,363 ✭✭✭Misty Chaos


    I was late to the internet party, so to speak as I only first got online in any shape or form in April 2000, using the Unison Internet on your TV device. I found it too limiting and a few months later, brought a modem for the PC to get the full potential of the Internet for myself.

    I remember using iolfree as my service and the dail up sound when connecting. I also remember that downloading a 10mb file was an epic hour long download or not being able to go online if someone was on the phone or not being able to stay on too long owing to the cost of the call.

    I also remember designing a website in Microsoft Publisher and uploading it online, its still up there as far as I know but it did set me on the path to taking up Web Design years later and being pretty decent at it.

    I was ahead of the curve at the time, talking to Americans regularly and using AIM at a time when pretty much no one else I knew did ( that was the sucky part as it made feel alone :/ ) and this before the advent of social networking.

    Fast forward to 2004 and a broadband modem is installed and while I enjoyed the greatly improved speeds, a bit of the magic died as well as it was on and the phone didn't interfere with it anymore. It made downloading MP3s at the time a doodle though. :D

    What do I think of the Internet today? A lot of changed, we a lot more people on it and social networking and streaming video is the norm. Its also normal now to hear about breaking news on the internet first before any other form of media ( examples being for me the death of MJ and the Earthquake in Japan to name a few ) A bit of the innocence is gone but the more things change, the more some things stay the same, if you get my drift.

    i lost days of my life to that ski game.

    i remember the porn sites, geocities and the like, chatrooms with " real women" :shudder:, and occassionally coming across that god aweful image of a naked lady that had a "loading image" banner over her boobs that you could fall for over and over again (hint: the image was fully loaded, it was early trolling days)

    creating miniwebsites and competing with online friends you met in said chatrooms to see who could get the most site views.

    then my dad got a 14.4k modem and the internet got sooo much faster.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,316 ✭✭✭✭amacachi


    I was fairly late to the net but I think it was when phpBB was just taking off and every asshat around could set up a bulletin board no problem. The amount of homepages I had under different accounts on different hosting sites, Anglfire, Geocities, Freewebz and ton more I can't remember right now.

    Twas nice to be able to go online and everyone typed properly and mainly had decent manners. That was a while after the net supposedly went to **** so I'd've loved to have been around before that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,692 ✭✭✭✭OPENROAD


    Got the Net at the end of 1999, remember one chat room site, where you had a multiple of different chat rooms and you could use your microphone to chat, usually ended up like a very very drunk AH without the mods :eek:, or did I dream that :confused: seems such a long time ago now, such chat rooms existed, didn't they?

    belongs to me really because as soon as i got onto a crappy atari in like 90/91 from their on in i was hooked !

    as time slowly went on i used them more and more and their was no separation of us two...

    come to think of it, kids ( my chums ) used to slag me for learning html when i was not much more then knee high, now their asked me for help with their business n' such and wondering why im quoting them stupidly high prices in a recession. :cool:


    but really highlight for me was playing half life quake diablo civilizations etc on 56k and complaining about the 10 minute downloads for some stuff for games ( i. 2 pieces of custom jpegs on a map somewhere ) this or windows 98 ( bsod ftw... :mad: )

    I remember getting an iMAC OS9 back in 2001. It had 20GB memory. The memory is still very fresh in my mind of walking through my front room door and my Dad and Sister unpacking the packaging of it. Aswell as that my trips to it when 14 years of age ;) I would go onto gamefaqs.com and the WWF website too. I can remember an add-on for Unreal Tournament was released, it was 50MB. I dare not download as it would have taken over 6 hours to get it. (had speeds of 3KB/sec.)

    The thing is the dial-up would sometimes switch on and off without me knowing it, so a couple of times we got a bill of 300 euros! How the **** did Eircom get away with that? Crooks the lot of 'em. They should have sent people out to properly install the phone lines when the internet was getting bigger. Though in 2004 BB arrived and it was a lot easier to download video files from websites, like an Eminem video from a fan website. Downloading video/music media definitley became easier.

    But then 2006/2007 youtube and social media came, which turned the scene around more. A LOT more. Instead of downloading videos from specific websites youtube is all there is. I don't like to thing what stuff will be like in 10 years time, everything will be so alien it would be like we're on Mars. *shudders*

    I remember the railway arches. It was full of little Macintosh systems. I got you beaten by a few years. I was on the internet in 1988 on the VAX system in Trinity. Me and a friend would spend hours on the UseNet News site, mostly rec.music.misc emailing and posting to guys in America and Malaysia song lyrics to heavy metal music like Queensryche and Guns n Roses. It was surreal. Also they gave us FTP sites to servers in California where we could download sci-fi stories and pornography. Failed five of my 10 exams that year and had to repeat them because I spent so much time just dilly-dallying on the VAX mainframe. Make me sick when some fool comes up to me in like 1995 and says "Hey, have you ever heard of the internet? You gotta get online man!" Fück off, newbie!

    Prince of Persia, Captain Comic and SimCity, those games were the business (before I got online though).

    Anybody remember Colony City? It was like a really primitive version of second life, I must have been on it around 1998/99. At the time the VR graphics looked amazing. I can't belive the site is still up.

    I remember getting PC Format back in 1996 and skipping to the recommended websites page, there were so few sites online that I needed recommendations to find aything useful.

    Yeah, I remember that too... running around in a 2D dungeon looking for green and red potion bottles/jars with my last bit of health, S**ting it jumping through the metal jaw things. "Zak" was another game I vaguely remember. It was a puzzle game where you had to either type what you wanted to do, or pick a task from a list? Funny game.
