Google is just a database!

Ok heres the real truth

I’ve got sites up that are much older than google and being a computer nerd at the time took a very great interest in every new search engine, especially one day a brand new one called Google. Anyone who had Compuserve would understand!

As a systems analyst I was still working full time for a very large UK Financial services company on these extrememly complex database designs and real time processing solutions, taking google to bits was a spare time laugh, and there were not that many variables initially, that do the sort function, not even a fifth of the number that might go into the average small database file structure on an AS/400 relational database – Any Insure/90 programmers out there will know what I mean if I mention RSKFIN

And guess what Google ran on – still might do (for all I care), but I think IBM keeps changing the name!

Yep AS/400s – banks of them apparantely! The boys in IBM Rochester were raking it in!

Oh yeah by the way – the reason I found out about Google before most people in the first place, when it was still a prototype, was because one of our RPG programmers pointed out to me one day this article in some nerd RPG mag that I usually had to pretend to be interested in – but this time I was because it was about my favourite subject and specialist subject – InterneT

So heres the truth cos I’ve got to go to bed!

In the beginning there was chaos (and boring .edu docs)

And along came the hand of god and created order and structure out of the void

And that hand (its a bit withered now)

was

SEO

Today there is chaos again

Fortunately there is a solution

night night!
