Hi everybody.

Perhaps my most significant wiki-related accomplishment is as a contributor to the original WikiWikiWeb.

I've been involved with the wide-area-networking for many years. starting with pre-internet connections such at BITNET, UseNet, and the like as a UNIX computer systems administrator at the US NIH In Vivo NMR Research Center in the late 1980's. My first foray into the world-wide-web was installing the CERN httpd server on my NIH workstation in 1993 and experimenting with static HTML and dynamic pages created with the Bourne shell and the CGI.

My first personal public web-site was created in 1996 and has evolved into my current site: http://geoffs.net.
