I remember being at uni (UWE Bristol), downloading the zip and exporting to program files. My mates thought I was crazy until they saw tabbed browsing...wow!


The first time I used tabbed browsing was using Opera waaaaay too many years ago. :)


I'd forgotten how cool that was at the time.


hah weird seeing another UWE person on here. What are you doing now?


I couldn't find a decent grad role in Bristol so I ended up in London, where I've since settled. I'm a dev after graduating in 2004 with a Computing and Information Systems degree. Since I graduated I realise that a few my UWE lecturers were really good. I didn't see the point in being asked to read Kent Beck and Martin Fowler or what I'd learn from substituting Slackware Linux's ls for my own shoddy implementation, but now I see that those visiting lecturers from Rolls Royce and Airbus knew what I'd need to know in the real world. Doing a Sandwich course and spending a year writing production code for Pfizer was beneficial too. You?

Wow, two fellow UWE people! I had to go back and double check what I was reading!
