If You Like SLDN.org . . .
. . . then you should meet one of the people behind our new site.
PC Magazine recently profiled Alan Emtage of Mediapolis in its 25 Years of PC Magazine issue. Alan worked on some of the programming behind our new website (which is engineered and made possible by the generous support of Mediapolis), and is recognized by PC for inventing the world's first search engine.
"There are two things you should know about Alan Emtage, the man who invented Archie, the world's first computer search engine," the magazine says. "One: Contrary to popular belief, he did not name his seminal search engine after a comic book. In fact, he loathes the Archie comics. 'It's the most insipid thing I've ever read,' he says. Two: He hasn't owned a computer since he parted ways with his Sinclair ZX81 back in 1983. 'Computers are my profession,' he admits. 'But they are not my hobby.'"
Luckily for us, Alan is pretty darn good at his chosen profession.
