Wearing my cats tie for National Cat Day! None of our three cats was interested in being photographed for this occasion. I am sending Happy Birthday greetings to my EKU faculty friend Jennifer Fairchild. In technology history, today marks the 57th anniversary of the first computer-to-computer electronic message (1969, UCLA). "The message text was the word login; on an earlier attempt the l and the o letters were transmitted, but the system then crashed. Hence, the literal first message over the ARPANET was lo. About an hour later, after the programmers repaired the code that caused the crash, the SDS Sigma 7 computer effected a full login.”
