History
Nucleus was written mostly by Demuynck while he was studying for a bachelor in computer science. In January 2000, Wouter started a web blog using Blogger. After a while, he wanted a commenting feature, and wrote, for the first time, a PHP script for this purpose. Later, he started to use tricks to have multiple Blogger blogs on the same page (using JavaScript). In his words:
| “ | But the Blogger service was getting less and less fun to use, because of the constant downtimes. I had to switch to a decentralized tool, but could not find a 'decent' one: I tried GreyMatter, but it did not allow multiple weblogs. PHP-Nuke and alike tools did not offer enough flexibility with the layout, and were not exactly what I was looking for. Movable Type, pMachine, Pivot etc. did not exist yet, so I had to come up with something of my own.
So I did. In the beginning of 2001, I wrote (starting from scratch) the basis of what would later turn out to become Nucleus: a set of PHP classes, reading data from XML files. No real admin-area yet, no multiple users. But multi-weblog from the start. It was in the summer of 2001 that I decided to move from XML files to MySQL and started building a good admin interface, so I could release the script and share it with other people. It got a little out of hand. |

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“Culture, the acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
