hello may we please see the frog or perhaps the website? (if you don’t want to share that’s totally okay) thank you for the story!!
Alas, this occurred in 1995 and the company is long gone.
The demo was actually conducted using his laptop browser opening his site off-line; no webserver involved. Just a collection of pages stored on his drive C: that frog-guy created using notepad.exe, an impressive feat at the time. Once he onboarded we let him host his frog menagerie on the corporate LAN but I don't think we ever gave it public access.
Our project manager (also at the interview) nabbed the computer-frog instantly and I haven't spoken with anybody from that organization since 1998, so... yeah.
If I had the froggy I'd show y'all. And yes, it’s all true.
(If you’re wondering what the heck this is about, it’s about this.)
Since the Ceramic Frog thing has regained traction and I’m getting asks, here ya go.
