Friday was my last day with Telligent. I notified the Community Server Team a couple of weeks ago that I decided my last day would be when CS2007 goes RTM, and that day is here.
I last checked-in with you on March 10th in "Telligent and Me," and everything I said there still pretty much applies. I hated to no longer be working with those best-of-breed Telligent developers and I didn't want to stop doing the two hours a day in Gold Forums Support, but there are only so many hours in a day to work with Community Server source code. It was time to go.
In leaving Telligent I keep thinking of that scene in Blade Runner, when Deckard is faced with the decision of no longer being a cop.
Bryant: I need ya, Deck. This is a bad one, the worst yet. I need the old blade runner, I need your magic.
Deckard: [getting up to leave] I was quit when I come in here, Bryant, I'm twice as quit now.
Bryant: Stop right where you are! You know the score, pal. You're not cop, you're little people!
Okay, so maybe that scene doesn't exactly apply, but I am a regular citizen again, and am looking forward what the future holds as a full-time Independent Consultant. I'll keep you posted.
