Once upon a time SearchDomino.com bestowed upon me the honour of being in what they considered the top ten Domino websites.
Until today there was a link to the Search Domino page in the "news" section of my Rockall site. The thing is they've now removed me (and 3 others) from the list, as you can see.
So, there you go, I'm no longer up there with the big guns. Oh well...

Domino, what's that?!? I thought this was a Sharepoint development site.
LOL jk, there aren't many at work today so I've got to start trouble somewhere :)

I don't know what this site is any more.

Reminds me of a quote I think I heard once but am having trouble pinning down. To paraphrase (and embellish):
"When they first acknowledged me, I thought I had risen to a new level of achievement amongst the few and outstanding figures of history who left their mark. Then I got to know them... and when they disowned me, I knew then, without a doubt, that I had risen to a new level of achievement amongst the few and outstanding figures of history who left their mark."

Brilliant. Sums it up perfectly.

Jake, you shouldn't worry about it. There's a lot of people that knows who you are and how you and your site has become a reference.
I've just moved away of the Lotus environment (don't know how long it will be) and your entries about MS technologies I took it as a sign that I'm not the only one and fortunately I'm still following your blog to prove that I'm not in the wrong way and taking advantage of the experience of working with hi-end technologies for a while (a lot of years in fact) only makes you a better professional, that is what we all recognize in you and your work.

Same boat as Alex....at least this shows that you are moving with technology, and not standing still.

Any list of Lotus-related resources that doesn't list PlanetLotus.org shows you just how useless said list really is!
I would have included the LinkedIn groups, as well.
I've also said in the past when the topic of top n lists arises that a link to any IBM.com domained resources is just silly. Point to LDD and only waste one entry lest be thought a lazy journalist!

Well... Looseleaf.net is still there even though it doesn't exist any more. And the page still shows "last updated" on 15 June 2004. I suspect a technical problem with an obsolete page, rather than a deliberate deletion.

Well, you're still the first place i'd go rather than any of those listed above, most likely!! Still consistently high in results from the Google Custom Lotus & Domino Search Engine too, probably only second to ibm sites, and way ahead in usefulness than many of the results returned by the afore-mentioned site anyway, especially when they have a password wall and 10 million adverts in the way of getting any useful information even if they have returned a higher result!!
