I'm back to my usual business! This time we are talking about some relatives of the punch card, my wacky ideas about hypertext, and the history of data management

On this day in 1970 Doug Engelbart was awarded the US patent for the computer mouse, which became an icon for his life's work, but in fact was among his LEAST significant contributions. Today we revisit his seminal talk:

Sad news: Just heard that George P. #Landow passed away on 31 May. He was Prof Emeritus (English & Art History) at @BrownUniversity and a noted #hypertext theorist. My condolences to his family.
I interviewed George in 2009 for the @ACM_SIGWEB newsletter: doi.org/10.1145/1507222.1507…

I have a hard copy at home, and I just found it online. fujitsu.com/ie/imagesgig5/IC…
The ICL system is described by my colleague George Rouse on page 546 and my paper about the editor is on page 554.

I remember Guide! One of the first things I did after university was to write a visual editor in Prolog/PCE (on Sun3 workstations) for ICL. They used it to build knowledge trees to help their customer tech support diagnose issues.

I'm so excited to know that the 1990s #hypertext software #Guide is on its way from Malawi to #HofUniversity, Germany. Many thanks to Margaret Ngwira @LingaWine for providing me with the discs.
If you're interested in vintage hypertext systems, follow the @hist_HT project.

Hypertext is at its 34th edition this year and plenty of water has flowed under the bridge since its first edition in 1987.
In such a long history, many things have developed, including its scientific communities and its topics of interest.

In the same vein, « a file structure for the complex, the changing and the indeterminate » by @TheTedNelson is a must read! The term hypertext makes its first appearance in that paper (from 1965)

I have some questions:
1. Would anyone be interested in contributing to or helping with a community-driven comp history zine?
2. Would anyone want to read something like that?
