Today this site has simply disappeared from Google.

Now, not that I'm complaining or anything, but how can this happen?

More than 90% of all referrals from search engines on sites hosted on our server belong to Google or Google Powered searches. More and more people rely on Google not only for their searches, but almost as a bookmarks' replacement, I do this myself.

Having been removed from Google makes this site unavailable for a lot of people, and this is something I cannot control at all.

I feel like a character in one of those movies, removed from all public records and becoming invisible.

But worst of all, is that I don't know why has this happened. Did I trigger some obscure mechanism looking too many times for my name from the same IP address? Is there any other system that Google uses to prevent tampering with their records? I don't think that somebody from Google saw my note on Ego Surfing below and removed this site from the records (just in the case this happened: I'm deeply sorry, I didn't want to do anything wrong, please, put me back! :-).

PS: just dropped to 67. :-|

Monday is the fifth anniversary of Scripting News, and the fourteenth of Frontier. It wouldn't surprise me if there are some Radio users who were born after the the code that's running their blog, not that that actually means anything.  [Scripting News]

I remember meeting Dave, presenting Frontier, for the first time in Palo Alto. Was that 14 years ago? Probably. Today I found in my closet a Cricket Present T-Shirt, and I was wondering how old it was. Does anybody remember about Cricket Software?

Tommy Williams: "Like most teams inside Microsoft, we have a SharePoint site set up to share information. Everyone in the team can post to the site. There are lists, calendars, and even discussion groups."  [Scripting News]

Using Frontier and IdeaTools as an Intranet application, you can have lists, calendar, discussion groups, publishing, directories, aggregators too. And you can also run RCS on the same server.
