@gloriouscow I wonder where the winsock interface standard came from.

Wikipedia is telling me that Trumpet Winsock 1.0A was released in February of 1994. Windows 95 came out in late August of 1995.
18 months. I would have sworn I spent years exploring the internet on Windows 3.1. Memory is a funny thing.

@sandorspruit @gloriouscow Indeed. Supported it in my first job at an ISP.

@vampiress My friend who had some connections to the warez scene had been running a Chicago beta for a while and hyping up how great it was, so I picked it up pretty much as soon as it came out.
We still had a 386DX-40. Installation took a while.

@gloriouscow Right after finally buying that license for pkzip.exe!

@hpcchris @gloriouscow Back in the day, when Bill Gates thought Internet would not really be a thing, and you needed third party utilities to make things work. What if…

@christopherkunz Phil Katz passed in 2000 :(
PKWARE lives on apparently, but I feel no moral compulsion to throw money at them.
But if you feel differently, it's only $31.90!

@gloriouscow I only got internet access in early '96, and by then I already had Windows 95. I did see Trumpet at a friend a few months earlier, but never used it personally.

@gloriouscow aw, Trumpet Winsock! 😃
Nostalgia...
Back when internet access was rare and Facebook was not a thing yet...
I miss those days. ☺️

@gloriouscow I remember I did that, actually. That page might have looked the same 30 years ago. It was exiting for me because I had to send money internationally, which means I had to find out how to order my bank to do that. that was probably the first and also the last time I had to do that.
Twas pre PayPal 😁 -

@jernej__s before Trumpet Winsock we were all just sitting around on our butts in text mode terminal emulators using Lynx to read gopher sites about trains

@gloriouscow ROTFL we need to play that on @underscore

@vampiress i could see that if they had the 25Mhz version and didn't install any L2 cache. otherwise a 486 should run circles around a 386.

@gloriouscow Sorry, I went with OS/2 Warp! instead.

@gloriouscow Ohhhh, mIRC! Used the heck out of that until I switched to irssi on a bouncer somewhere. Good times!
I wonder what's going on in IRCNet nowadays...

@stefano wow, this post was perfect to fill a wiktionary entry for the word « assholes ». Those “great managers” doing harm so easily by just being dicks. Sorry this reply should not contain obscene words, but as it makes me think about own past experiences, I am probably overreacting… for the remaining of the company, and the team you are collaborating with, it will be a relief. You saved their day(s) by pushing things a little. It escalated, stack overflow.
Your position, being prudent, for a new collaboration, is the best one. You secure your work, the company will remember to secure the relationship step by step. Because confidence being broken can’t be resurrected in a click… there is no such thing as “business relation snapshot” to be restored. Green field, built brick by brick again.

@rivoluzioneurbanamobilita sì, in quel tratto è decisamente pedonale 😅
Naturalmente ha i permessi per transitar là, probabilmente per un servizio fotografico

🤣🤣🤣
Non avevo fatto caso alla foto, spettacolo.
Immagino sia una via pedonale? (Conosco poco Roma...)
