Last friday (January 20th), I visited CERN to evaluate their Document Management System for us by us. The meeting was definitely a success and I was very impressed by the work they had put into their EDMS-system, especially with regard to the ease of using it.

After lunch, I got the opportunity to walk around and snap some photos and just generally inhale the atmosphere of the place. I almost immediately stopped inhaling though (I needed to exhale) but when I entered their data-center a low whistle escaped my lips. There, in a glass cage, where a small, black NeXT-computer, utterly unremarkable except for the fact that this was the first web-server ever. This was the very computer that Tim Berners-Lee developed the http-protocol on.
