Happy Birthday Internet

Twenty years ago this month the world’s first web page was written. It’s creator Sir Berners-Lee (a British physicist, computer scientist and MIT professor) implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet.

Since then we have seen an ever changing medium create social networks and give the average person a chance for their moment of fame via youtube. ‘MP3′ has replaced ‘porn’ as the top search term and spam was suddenly not a strange meaty product found in a tin.

A copy of the original website can be found here – we really like the retro feel!

So Happy birthday tinternet! I wonder what it will bring in the next 20 years….?

TownGun goes live!

Blogs are a great way for people to sound off and write to their hearts content about what they feel passionate about. This week we have been working on two – one of which is a blog for The Town Gun.

The town gun is a blog for a senior partner in a London PR agency who’s lucky enough to work in the heart of Mayfair, surrounded by gun shops, fine restaurants and top boozers. We hope you enjoy reading the Town Gun’s escapades and views.

Navman Wireless Screensaver

Now you may think that all we create here at iprogress are websites.

However we do have a talented team of resources at our disposal.

So when Navman Wireless asked us if we could create a screensaver for their office computers worldwide we rose to the challenge.

3D logo’s were cleverly produced and rotated then scripted to bounce off the sides of the monitor screen as requested – Voila! One happy client!
