A picture named jrobb.jpgSome 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]

News indeed.  What will happen to Userland?  Is it being sold?  Will I still be able to pay reasonable prices for cool software?  Where did jrobb.userland.com goto?  Nothing like a summer cliff-hanger.

Lesson of the day. The beta version of the new Google Toolbar does not play well with Lexis. Kudos to the Lexis tech who figured out the problem right away (the pop-up blocker seemed to cause some kind of weird C++ error whenever I tried to access the sign-on page). [CALI Radio Station 13]

Really?  The article notes that a typical Sunday sees about 2000 sites defaced world-wide, but the 6th saw only a few hundred reports between intermittent outages of the site taking reports.
