This past week, Scripting News celebrated its 11th birthday - congratulations, Dave! Dave writes about the software he used then to manage the site, Frontier’s NewsPage suite.
NewsPage also powered the very first version of this site, back in late 1998 (here’s a sample from Dec 1999, which is all archive.org had, but the look is the same).
Sorry, I did not get a chance to congratulate Dave on the tenth anniversary of Scripting News.
Congrats, Dave, and I’m grateful for your pioneering spirit. I haven’t always agreed with you, but you brought us Frontier, editing code in the outliner, the News Page suite, editthispage.com, and a constant stream of ideas, provocations, and exhortations on Scripting News. And I learned from all these things. Thanks Dave.
(BTW, Scripting News became a weblog on February 1st, 1997, not April 1st. But it’s Dave’s world, we just live in it.

Read an early draft of my Personal Platform.
This site is hosted with Dreamhost, probably the best hosting provider I've worked with. They provide an awesome management backend, fantastic deals on hosting, an astonishing amount of bandwidth/disk space, and one-click installs of a *bunch* of common web tools.
