Why are computer programmers always getting Halloween confused with Christmas?
Because Oct 31 equals Dec 25.
Today in Computer History - May 6, 1949:
The EDSAC ran its first program.
Cool things about the EDSAC:
- 1st computer to have sub-routines.
- 1st computer (possibly) with a video game.
- Ran at 650 instructions per second.
Remember that one time, when CIA Director David Petraeus told an actually quite good engineering joke?
It's true.
It actually happened.
This Day in Computer History - May 4, 2000:
ILOVEYOU worm infects 10+ Million PCs.
Fun Fact: The ILOVEYOU worm did Billions of dollars in damages... and was written because a college student in the Philippines didn't want to pay for Dial-up Internet.
Happy 42nd birthday to... Spam!
On this day, in 1978, the very first spam e-mail was sent.
- The email was all in caps (seriously).
- It was sent to all ARPANET users on the West Coast.
- It was promoting a computer.
You can read the full email here:
Happy 37th birthday to the Microsoft Mouse!
And to one of the most widely used pieces of software in history: Notepad!
They were both announced on May 2 of 1983.

Mark Shuttleworth in 2016: 'Ubuntu keeps GNU/Linux relevant'
This is a short interview with Mark Shuttleworth (CEO of Canonical, makers of Ubuntu) that I did back in 2016.
His answers were fascinating.
How much power and influence do Open Source foundations have?
