Nick Bradbury: HomeSite Discontinued

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:56:39 +0000

"It's been almost 15 years since I created HomeSite, and I stopped working on it in 1998 when I left Allaire Corporation. Several other developers took over after I left, but to the best of my knowledge nobody has touched it for several years, so the fact that it was still being sold until now is a nice testament to how useful people found it. Kudos to Macromedia and Adobe for keeping it around, despite the fact that it competed with some of their other products."

Marc’s Voice » Blog Archive » Doesn’t anyone remember Grand Central?

Sat, 24 Mar 2007 04:31:23 +0000

"I’m confused. What is Grand Central? Is that Apollo alpha. A pre-cursor or just something everyone wants to forget about? Google remembers it - 611k mentions of it - in fact. Others panned it back then."
