I think the company has a future without Jobs, it’s on the right track now. But I also think Jobs will be back, he’ll be fine.

farzad, i forwarded your request.
for the news, my opinion is that they are very helpful to webmasters, sys-admins, web developers who read this blog. I post for instance about vulnerabilities, new web browsers, news about Google, which every webmaster should be aware about.
there are also guides and tutorials about how to use your servers, and there will be an article about Plesk one day.
i wish your problems will be solved quickly and we will see you soon back on the iweb blog with the fixed problem.
regards,
