I've been really enjoying the Internet History Podcast, reliving the dream of the 90's! After a particular episode I listened to last week, interviewing Rob McCool, author of the original NCSA HTTPd - https://www.internethistorypodcast.com/2014/04/chapter-1-supplemental-5-an-interview-with-rob-mccool/ I reached out to Rob as I work at the same company as him, and he was like oh, did they also interview Brian Behlendorf? (our IDM list founder and author of Apache webserver!), which as far as I can see, they haven't. As both Apache and the Hyperreal mailing lists started around them, I was wanting to ask you how these two topics intersected, and how you remember around that time. However! As I click through some of the links on hypereal.org, i just found this page "A cobbled-together history of hyperreal" which pretty much answers my question! (including how you came to use a track title by the Shamen!) - http://hyperreal.org/info/history.html ^ awesome history doc / story! Anything to add to your memories, Brian? bonus link - that doc states it was originally written for https://ironfeather.com/ - which is such a well preserved looking 90s website, with some great 90's DJ mix tapes!
