Speaking of John Robb, I note his post is still cached in Feedster. Heh. The Webserver can be turned off, but if the RSS feed has been grabbed, there’s nothing you can do to remove it from the Internet.

It’s Actually Hot in Boston
Next. To say it’s hot and humid in Boston would be like saying, well it’s too hot to think of something creative. I give up. As I was driving to work this morning I saw a boy and a man fishing in the Charles River at Watertown Square, and I thought this captured what the heat feels like. It was over 90 degrees at 10AM. In Yiddish the word for that is Oy. [Scripting News]
Curiouser and Curiouser
Some news: John Robb is leaving UserLand. This is part of a bigger transition, one that we’re not ready to talk about yet. It should be, net-net, good news for Manila and Radio users, and for the weblog community. We weren’t ready to announce, John surprised us by writing about his departure on his weblog. He’s a surprising guy. Anyway, part of my reason for being in Calif next week is business. I think UserLand will do fine, although things are still uncertain, but that’s life in the big leagues. Thanks John for all your help, and best wishes to you and your family for much continued success. Onward! [Scripting News]
John Robb Leaves Userland…
Yeah, but where is he going?
Ground is shaking in UserLand. John Robb’s abrupt departure and blog disappearance smells bad. Dave is hinting at a bigger change that should be “net-net good news for Manila and Radio users and for the weblog community.” While going open source is a possibility, “We weren’t ready to announce, John surprised us” seems to point to a buyout. My list of suspects with recent news about AOL’s entry into BlogLand are:
- Yahoo
- Adobe
- Symantec
- Macromedia
Intriguing drama unfolding…
[Don Park’s Daily Habit]For EAW
I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
‘Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Well, I’ve been afraid of changing
‘Cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you get bolder
Even children get older
And I’m getting older too
Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down.
Movable Type
Been playing with Movable Type, not for blogging mind you, but for a site idea that I have. Looks good, tastes great. Might just do the trick.
