On this day twenty-seven years ago, I released the first version. I called it 4.0 as I kept the versioning from the previous names.

@bagder it must have “been born” part way through my degree. I keep trying to remember if I was using it at university or not.

Congratulations, it’s a wonderful thing.

Oh, curl too?
Today's also Chester Bennington's birthday, he's the vocalist of Linkin Park (was… until July 2017).

Now I wonder what else has been created this day, gonna check calendars :)

@icing @bagder

@bagder thank you for all you do, Ser.

Without Curl the Geek world would have been like a slice of bread without butter 🏅

Happy birthday to `Curl`🥂

@bagder what? an open-source software project and you changed its name? ;)

@bagder it was my ten years old BD. I do remember this day.
Great job Daniel.

@crusy hopefully it will live a little longer..

@bagder my 11 year old called me into his room the other day to show me something he was working on (an 11 year old working on something I know) anyway, he pops open a terminal writes out a curl script and next thing you know he’s Rick Rolling me in ascii, so thanks for that.

@bagder curl is one of my favorite command-line tools that makes me love using the terminal and command line. It is also the only open source project I sponsor on GitHub. curl rocks!!! #curl

@bagder Thank you for carrying this water for the rest of us for so long. Yesterday I learned about `--write-out`.

@bagder thank you for your service (genuinely)

@bagder I mean Netscape did it back then too. Going directly to 4.0 was the trend of the day!
