My adventures in hypermedia software design
At some point back in the early 1990s I was a 19 year-old Computer Science student, standing in the university computer room, staring at the table football-sized flatbed scanner beneath me, a yellowing copy of Robert Foster's 'Complete Guide to Middle-earth' stretched open in my hands.
Those were the days when we had to book the scanner in advance. In twenty minute slots. 'Why don't I wait twenty years until OCR software actually works?' I (genuinely) believe I said to myself.
