Craig Cline, former head of Seybold Publishing, died yesterday after a long illness. His wife Gayle and six children were at his bedside.  

We've started a site to accumulate stories of Craig's life, to provide information about the memorial service, and a mailbox for people to send messages to the family.  

A picture of Craig, leading the Mobile Blogging discussion at BloggerCon III, in November 2004.  

Mike Zornek: "Craig was a great guy. I really enjoyed working for him." 

Three Rivers by Bob Stepno. Hmmmm.

I continue to have problems with all three of my Macs. The new black MacBook shuts down on its own in the middle of my work. The original G4 laptop is still blue-screening, and my dual CPU desktop G4 is blue-screening more frequently (on average once a day). I'm seriously thinking about shopping for a new computer, a Windows machine, fed up with the awful Mac hardware. In the meantime I'm using the old Sony Vaio as my mobile computer. The software isn't as nice as the Mac, and the screen is much harder on my old eyes, but, knock wood, it works and the Macs don't.  

Bret Fausett: "I now travel only with Thinkpads. They are expensive, but extremely reliable."

From time to time I hear that people miss the comment link in the right margin of Scripting News. (Actually I hear "It's too bad you don't allow comments.") So I moved it up, made it larger and bold face. Here's a screen shot that shows where it is, in case you don't see it.
