Title: Where is Rob Robinette?
Post by: Lectroid on November 02, 2021, 08:57:31 am: Lately I can't connect to robrobinette.com. I get 'Failed to open page.'

Is this just me or does anyone have more info?

Post by: jadeharp on November 05, 2021, 11:36:25 am: I found an article that said he died in a motorcycle crash in Nashville. I didn't know him personally, but His website was a major resource for me. My heart goes out to his family and friends. This was a great loss for all of us. If anyone has downloaded his site, can you please make it available to the rest of us.

Update, it looks like I had the wrong Rob Robinette. Sorry about that Rob! He appears to be very much alive. I'm not sure why we can't access his website. I hope it's back up soon. I reference it on a regular basis.
