WOOH! WOOH!
But now he's Bob.

He is taking some time off, here is a portion of his last post:
I also find that I'm not able to be human anymore -- I'm not having fun anymore. It's time to take some time away from the blog.
He wants to take a break. He should be able to if he wants. -

I am sure he will be pleased to read the we miss him though. - Robert, you can be human here, amongst us ... !

Robert's been abducted by Aliens, they read his blog...
The next time he appears in our space-time continuum you will notice a change. -

Glad to hear that Robert. Don't let the b*stards get you down, especially that uber-c*nt Orlowski (I note such is The Register's quality these days, Orlwoski cohort Gavin Clarke managed to call Mitchell Baker, one of the top people in the computing industry, a man).
I've always wondered, if you are so pro blogging and advocate people getting blogs, why not only allow comments on stories through trackbacks? -

Cider, cause then I'd need to deal with Trackback spam. And trackbacks are seriously broken (they only show a small percentage of the people who actually link to a specific post). I should write about that when I get off of vacation.

Actually, I know this because my poor blog on Spaces gets its trackbacks destroyed and I can't be bothered going through the tedious method of deleting them all.
But, jeez, can't you and Dave Whinger come up with some sort of standard? Maybe something along the lines of issuing a tinyurl-esque URL which has to go through a redirect at the originator blog site for the post and goes through a spam filter on the originator site before it is "authorised" as a trackback (feel free to patent that...). -

Aggh. I've commented on this before, I really ought to write a real rant.
1) Spam doesn't mean trackbacks are broken, any more than spam means comments are broken,
2) Trackbacks only show a small percentage because tools out there don't use or send them. In the same way that some tools don't send pings to technorati, does that mean technorati is broken? And we all know how long it takes technorati et al to update, and even then they still miss stuff.
3) Trackbacks have the advatanges of being instant when sent, and they appear on the site that people send them to. No more having to go off to another site to see who is linking which is a sucky user experience.
For example, lets look at a trackback ping I got sent from an msdn blogger. My site was notified and the link appeared as soon as he updated his page. Technorati shows no links. So which is better?
Write the article Robert, I'll start drafting the rebuttal now
