11 May 2005 - I've just come back from the Ajax Summit hosted by O'Reilly and Adaptive Path. See my comments on my blog.

12 Feb 2003 - I built JSRS in the summer of 2000 and have evolved it from there with everyone's help. It's been a useful tool to me and others are finding it useful too.
Unfortunately, I can't continue spending the same level of effort with JSRS that I have been. I get a couple of emails most days and I respond to all of them, sometimes in great detail and over a number of messages. On the most part, people are kind and appreciative of my time, very rarely they are demanding and inconsiderate.
Any time I spend on this is time that I'm not working, and as an independent consultant and family man, I have to budget my volunteer time. I want to move on to new innovative things.
The forum here has helped to answer some questions that I would otherwise have had to address. I'm going to leave it running so people can continue to benefit from it, and I'm going to keep my RS pages up too. This should be able to run itself without me at this point.
If anyone cares to continue updating JSRS, I'll be glad to designate them as the authoritative source and post any updates they give me to the download area.
If you have a specific need for my help, I can be contracted to work with you. Contact me to discuss rates and availability.

03 Apr 2002 - Vui K. Lo sent a Cold Fusion port for JSRS. I've included it in the JSRS20.zip file. I'm slowly starting to test POST fix submissions to see what can be merged in. I have a promising-looking NS4 POST version from Vladimir Kokovic but it needs some more testing. There are also submissions from Edward Hart and Nigel Maddocks that I need to take a look at.
27 Mar 2002 - Numerous people have sent me files and suggestions for JSRS. I've been very busy and have not been able to update things, so I've decided to open up a discussion forum so that interested people can at least help each other while I'm trying to find the time myself. Here it is.
18 Feb 2002 - I've written a small chat app using JSRS so people can talk to me when visiting my weblog. You can see it there at http://brentashley.blogchat.com

08 Dec 2001 - Another link for the gallery - Thanks Andrea! Andrea Moro coded a set of dependent selections using JSRS at Gastronomick

06 Nov 2001 - I'm starting to see a lot of people wanting to migrate to JSRS from MSRS due to the Windows XP release and lack of builtin JVM. I'll gladly help with tips where I can. I'm also available for consulting and programming on Remote Scripting issues (among other things). Just email me at jsrs@megahuge.com to arrange something.

20 Mar 2001 - a fabulous example of JSRS in use at CAnet on the CAnet Traffic Map. Hervé Guy really did a great job on this. Remember it's very data and graphics intensive and therefore works best with a high-speed connection.
