Oh well. It was time for my annual (or at least bi-annual) trip to the 
whois database to watch to see if the ada home dot com domain was going 
to expire (not written as a URL to avoid giving googlebot more links to 
the site than it already has).

ada home dot com was once a great site for up to date Ada information 
but about 6 years ago it stopped getting updated at all (other than the 
automated headline script at the left side of the page that shows the date).

Unfortunately it is still highly ranked in the search engines and its 
horribly stale content (some of which is still relevant of course) lends 
to the perception of a dead language.

...Well..The reason it is a sad day is tha today when I checked it had 
been renewed again but this time until 2010..

So consider this a reminder for those that have Ada websites that any 
links to ada home dot com should be removed to reduce the page rank.


I am not sure we will ever get it off the first page but it would feel 
good to see "ada programming" or "ada language" drop this page down a 
few pegs.
