For those who haven't heard on Facebook, James Robertson passed away
suddenly on Thursday April 14, 2014. James was a power house of information for Smalltalk and worked furiously through the years to promote it through his blog and podcasts. James was an employee of ParcPlace through the ParcPlace/Digitalk merger and through the move to Cincom. When he left CIncom in 2010, he became an independent contractor. He was always an early adopter of technology. He jumped into the blog scene when it wasn't yet a scene and started recording podcasts when podcasts were still new. Over the years, he recorded thousands of podcasts, screencasts, videos of conference talks and interviews making them accessible to everyone by podcast channels, youtube and through his blog. Funeral information can be found at the following link. http://sollevinson.com/notice.php?lr=loc&id=25422 I'm waiting to hear details about a memorial service to be held later this week. For all of us who were touched by his life, we say farewell to a good friend.

He was a very dear friend of mine. I have been off email for s while being busy this pascha / Easter season.
I am overseas for a while and not able to return for a while. Jim was a good friend. I look forward to seeing him on the last day. We usually in the orthodox church light candles and pray for our friends both living and asleep. I will sadly move his name to the other list, but I will continue to pray for him.

Has anyone got the keys to James' web site and archives so we can preserve it without having to crawl it?
