How Pleiades came to Life ?

I had forgotten that I had the original version of the text in the Pleiades documentation... (which is still due to go online, I will do that soon...)

This text is an email I sent to some colleagues at Standard Bank on August 2009 about the birth of Pleiades (which had happened one year before, in 2008, the same year I started coding in JavaScript), I was basically answering an answer from a grad student. The original text had the code samples pasted in the text itself, I have just replaced them by screenshots, for added sexiness. This email was, ironically, sent two days before I resigned from the company (at the time I wrote it I didn't know yet that I would). I don't know if Pleiades is still used over there, even though I think it must because all the client side logic of Hypercube was based on this runtime.

.. thinking of it, nobody, beside Aubrey and the business users at the Bank has seen the late Hypercube logo. It features a part of the star cluster. I came up with this new logo after having recoded all the UI (client side) above Pleiades/CoreImage...
