ELIZA / Joseph Weizenbaum
Joseph Weizenbaum’s 1966 ELIZA paper is the starting point for this conversational terminal homage. The monospace interface and quiet blue, gray, and black palette are an original interpretation.
References & licenses
Acknowledging the people, research, and software behind DobeWorks.
Influences
The interface brings together early conversational computing and the direct, useful design of long-lived websites. Blue, gray, and black are Taylor’s palette for this original homage.
ENIAC
Penn’s account of ENIAC’s 1946 launch honors the people and work behind early electronic computing. The design lesson drawn here is to make controls and results clear.
IBM AS/400
IBM introduced the AS/400 in 1988, emphasizing ease of use, connectivity, and compatibility. AS/400 is the tentative match for Taylor’s remembered AS series.
InfoDog and MB-F
A tribute to direct links, useful records, show information, and a community served over time. MB-F traces its dog-show business to 1900; InfoDog displays a 1996–2026 copyright range. The early computer vendor behind InfoDog remains unverified.
Jack Onofrio Dog Shows
A tribute to clear routes for entries, upcoming shows, results, and downloads. In a 2015 WEB400 post, Onofrio developer Joe W. Holt described an IBM i server using Apache and RPG/CGIDEV2. That first-person account records the system in use at the time.
Sashiko
Roman Gushchin and colleagues developed Sashiko; its announcement credits Chris Mason’s separate review-prompts foundation. Its separation of threads, review stages, status and findings informed this site. No Sashiko source, prompts, kernel patches, branding assets or other website assets were copied into this app.
DEGS v2.1 Python translation
Taylor’s selected Python translation was read for its stage provenance and separate concern/result collections. No translated code or prompts were imported into this app. The upstream notices identify the exact authorship, modifications and license boundaries.
