The CEO as well as the founder of Napster have both resigned. I'm confused as to why this is being so widely reported. You'd almost think this was important in some way. But Napster has been dead for a long time. Once they shut down the free trading it was obvious they could never transition to a pay service.

There are still file trading networks. And they have more users, trading more files (including copyrighted music files,) then Napster ever had. And they continue to grow. I believe the RIAA will eventually be crushed by these networks. But all this has absolutely nothing to do with Napster.

I fixed back links (I'm dropping 'reference logging' in favor of 'back links') so they no longer register links from the same page, or links from that pages archives.

I can't see any difference between mozilla 1.0 RC1 and RC2. Maybe it's mail or news changes. For browsing both are rock solid (although I've found most everything is rock solid on OSX,) fast, and thoughtfully designed (tabbed browsing, cookie support, and full javascript controls come immediately to mind.) Apparently RC2 should run on MacOS 8.5 and 8.6 although I've yet to confirm this. You can get RC2 here.

Our friends from Montana have safely departed. What a week. It took me all of Sunday and Monday just to recover. Although we didn't specifically plan it this way, after not seeing them for 4 years we will now be seeing them again in 6 weeks when we head out west. That made saying goodbye not so hard.

Ren is one amazing kid. He seemed to take to the city as if it was perfectly natural to have so many millions of people packed into a couple of square miles. Best quote from bed at the end of a very long day and night: "I hear the beautiful music of all the people who don't want the lights to go out." Indeed. I have a feeling we'll see him again in NYC.

Apple is expected to introduce new rack mountable servers today at 9:00 am pacific time. Possibly another product as well. We'll be watching.
