Memories for first virtualizations
(during 2001/2002)
Today i was going through one older backup hard disk, which has started to fail and i wanted to quickly dig out as much data as it is going to allow me. Before it dies definitely.
I found copies of first websites, which i started to made around years '97 - '98 for friends of my father, which by the way worked and is still working as network engineer for large French enterprise company.
The website if compared with modern site designs just sucks. Really, terrible easy design! Like the one you can get for free from these "web creators"
I couldn't believe that i've even liked some of them before :D But later popped out a Folder with screenshots, gifs and also javascripts(!) named "2Avoid" Whheeeee!
Do you remember that crazy, blinking and moving stuff? Quite a lot of people used it - for text, picz or just all around.
-- I hated it and i do even more today. I prefer clean, newspapers-like design or photo album. Decent style that is not taking an attention from subject.
For programming that sites i remember using some combination of Wysiwyg editor and standard LaunchPad, before i moved later to plain-text editor. These memories are not the important ones yet.

On the same disk, my patient reader i found a few of a bit-later projects.
Now please be honest with me and yourself --- Since when you know about Virtualization really? When was the first-time you heard about it?
Let me guess - four or five years back? Heey, that was a big-bada-boom already. Less? Ok, fair enough - most of the people do. Not me, tho...

Portable applications are around quite a long while. And basically they were made thanks to "virtualization". My father came once in 2002 after the work and like a small boy was speaking and almost singing about "New Future": "...wonderful new Sun which is able to do unbelievable things with everything..." His company paid a fortune to Sun Microsystems then. And they get it delivered 2 months later anyway because U.S. government/military didn't want to approve the sale. Because thanks to it you were able to run different Operating Systems on one computer/server. And not only - you were able to run them in other window. It allowed you to create small mainframe/backplane needed for the app to run out without any installation, only from USB disk. It was using a software called VmWare...
Oh yeah, just a little while later - year and half >> within IT terms -- after the monkeys << this same company released that software in striped-down version to public for free. VMWare Player meant definite change to the world how we know it and how we knew it. In the beginnings you could really only "play" the Virtual Machines - but you were not able to create one... If i just would knew what will come out of it all - i wouldn't support it that much. My father already saw that we are returning back to 70's with this. One central computer brain under complete control and user just being left with "remote terminal". So we just spent 40yrs of development to return back on the beginning.
Nevermind, in the middle of 2007 i started to sale "Remote Website and Application, controlled via GUI " and by the end of 2009 ther were virtual Shared Servers resources x Dedicated Physical Server resources
