Brian has been involved in using the Web since January 1993, when he helped established a Web service at the University of Leeds - probably the first institutional Web service in the UK HE community and one of the first fifty organisations around the world to register a Web service (as described in How the Web Was Born: The Story of the World Wide Web by James Gillies and Robert Cailliau).
