Everybody.Blogs.It is closing After the Daveless week I'm closing this site, Dave is back and getting better. The site has been running off an old PC with just Radio and some glue to get posts from several rss feeds, from a set of comments and from e-mail messages. Now Dave is back and I can revert the computer to its original use. Of course, the site will remain availble forever . Thank you to everybody. 7:14:24 PM     Paolo Valdemarin: Everybody Blogs It

Jim and I are glad to see that you are home and on the mend. We never realized how empty a morning could be without the News. Be well. Jim Mangan Pam Hernandez teardroptimes.weblogs.com 9:16:26 PM

Dave, Even in sickness, you are a master of how to turn the web's eyes to the news that matters to you. You are one of a kind, and your temporary absence shows what a contribution you make with your daily thoughts and links. Get well soon.

I'm glad you're still digging Dave. Thanks for all the help you've given me just by writing and being there and doing your funky chicken. All the best. -calvin 9:22:16 AM

Quitting smoking was and remains one of the hardest things I have done in my life. It is also what got me started blogging. I'll see if I can find some of my first blogs to send your way. What saved my a$$ from lighting up another cigarette during the first 90 days was a site called http://www.quitnet.com/. Highly recommended.

My best wishes to Dave and hope for his complete recovery. I have been reading his commentary on life for years - and now I use Radio Userland for blogging. The man has a longer reach than sometimes even he suspects. David Foo http://radio.weblogs.com/0105191/ 7:47:56 AM

Saw your note finally today, Dave. Been checking every other day since you went silent. Glad to see your back. Glad to see your an ex-smoker, and you will be healthier for it. Keep the faith.

Get well Dave. I'm not going to be too reverent, because I hope you're back on the air soon. I think reading scripting.com helps me *think* like a developer, even though I'm really not. Great stuff. C. Anderson 9:54:56 PM

Ok, after the 16th I started to worry. After the 20th the withdrawal symptoms kicked in. I tried everything, super-refresh, dumping my cache, firing up a different browser, deleting all my cookies in case I was being punished for hitting refresh too often. Nothing worked. Then I fed Google ("Where is Dave Winer?") and I had my answer. Get well soon and hurry back to us. We need your insight. Nigel Rowe • 6/21/02; 9:31:21 AM 6:50:06 PM     Get Well Dave

If all the Winnie the Pooh good cheer becomes too much for you, a dollop of Eeyore commerce at http://despair.com should clear it up.

One of the lovely things about Darwin's evolution: we are each and every one of us unique in all the world.

Gee, it's been three days. It must be serious; we're all wondering how he's feeling. Paolo V. and others have mentioned that Dave Winer, founder of the superb Radio Userland, is ill and hospitalized for a week. We sent him a get well card here and there's a joint blog where people can send their newsfeed for the purpose of sending get wells to Dave Our dog, Dao (meaning 'The Way" in Chinese) is a therapy dog and recovering himself from his second  total hip replacement in April. He has five more weeks to go before he can walk up stairs or run.

Isn't it strange to look through someone else's get well cards? It's like letters to Santa Claus; bags and bags of sweet wishes. The Wolff Family Prescription: Tape two aspirin to your forehead, rub chicken soup into your chest, take a slow deep breath, and hum a happy tune (maybe Touch of Gray). Day 4. Is this the longest time without a Scripting News update? You can hear blogspace going through a combination of shock, withdrawal, and anxiety. Is Dave real? The last time I became so concerned about an online personality becoming sick, the person turned out to be a hoax. How do we know Dave exists? Oh, yeah; I met Dave! And his work, his writing, his business changed my career, changed my life; in a good ways.

I never know what to say when something like this happens... I think it was just last week that I actually heard you for the first time here in the UK when I was listening to a Radio 4 programme and it was weird because I had only read your work up until then!

Dave, I'm praying for you. I knew almost nothing about the web when I came across Scripting News over a year ago. I've learned a lot from reading you and following your lead (links).

This sucks. I've met him at MacWorld San Francisco a number of times, standing in his booth, and I was always impressed by the way he tried to remember who I was. Not that he did; anyone who can remember everyone who walked into their booth a year ago has Too Many Neurons storing trivia. But he would see my UW name tag, smile, and do his best to pry out where we had last me. as though he felt that he should be able to remember everyone he'd ever met, as though it was a serious fault that he wasn't placing my face instantly.

I can see the threads now: - Blogs lead to prayer rings that saved my life. - One weekend around Dave and the whole floor is blogging. They don't know why, but the numbers are climbing. - Dave's hospital webcam gets slashdotted.- The methadone clinic down the hall tries Radio, finds it too addictive, and puts it on the controlled substance list. - John Robb buys key man insurance. - John starts a contest for guest blogger on Scripting news. Any way we can smuggle a blogging tool to you? Or do the doctors forbid? I'll say a mishaberach for you. All the love.

From one Jew to another -- the prayer for healing in Hebrew is "El na r'fa na la." These words were cried out by Moses when his sister Miriam was struck with a horrible disease. It's the simplest -- and most effective -- Hebrew prayer on the planet. "El na r'fa na la."

Dave,I've enjoyed your insight and humor. I trust that you will be able to apply these attributes to the struggles you currently face. I've often wondered how you could keep up the pace of running Userland, developing great software, and keeping us informed and inspired. Take the time to recover fully. I'll miss you, but wouldn't want to have you rush back before you are ready. My prayers and best wishes are with you. Whatever caused you to check in to the hospital, I hope it passes quickly with no long term effects. Paul Stone • 6/17/02; 10:14:15 AM 11:03:29 AM     Get Well Dave

Here's Paolo's original post on the idea. For my part, I will post new information both to my weblog and to the get well card via categories/rss.  Thanks. 8:11:38 AM     John Robb: Dave's Status

Dave: Get well soon. I'm about to get caught up on all my other email, weblogs and back reading, and I need Scripting News to distract me!!! Seriously, seeing that you're in the Hospital for a week worries me. I think you probably need spicy noodles and some chicken soup. Let us NY bloggers know, and we'll fedex you some Katz's or 2nd Ave Deli stuff. Best Wishes, Howard Greenstein Howard Greenstein http://www.howardgreenstein.com/blog 2:35:26 AM

The weekend, it felt so strange, like there was no more news in the world. Suddently everything was quiet. I thought that you had gone on vaction Dave, and was hoping you were enjoing the summer. But I find out you are in the hospital. We have never met, and might very well never meet. We have bearly exchanged e-mails. We are not friends, but in a way I feel like I know you - and it feels like it is one of my friends that are in the hospital right now. I hope you get better soon, and that you don't waste too much energy on trying to do more than you really should. And that includes updates on your weblogs. The world will go round, even if you aren't pushing it :-) Wishes for a speedy recovery from a guy in Norway you have never met, and bearly exchanged e-mails with - but that still cares and hopes for the best for you. by: Jarle Dahl Bergersen http://weblog.bergersen.net/ 12:48:06 AM
