OSCON 2008: An Illustrated History of Failure, by Paul Fenwick


Our story begins in ancient greece, where they created a device that could compute the positions of the planets, the sun, and the moon: the world’s oldest computer. It was plundered by the Romans, and on the way to Italy the boat sunk, and was recovered in 2001.

You know, I’m not going to blog this. You suckers who aren’t here are out of luck, because Paul Fenwick is an entertaining presenter.
