One Week Left in the Bay
The last couple of days I worked from San Francisco, spent some time at Linux World and saw a few of the many people that I would like to see before leaving for Victoria.
Julia is correct. If it was up to me, we would not ride off into the sunset, but instead say “see you tomorrow” and ride off by the cover of night.

Blogspot Does Not Scale With My Life
Eddmun wrote in reply to Bye bye BlogSpot.com:
Blogger? It works.
WordPress, Textpattern and the like are all great if you want to create a whole website and do the designing stuff but if all you want to do is write a blog and completely concentrate on the content then I would choose blogger.
I do want to concentrate on the content and that is why I choose WordPress! WordPress scales with my life and those I care about.
Julia has her blog on WordPress.com letting her completely focus on authoring and participating in conversations. If she ever decides that she wants to take our content elsewhere, WordPress protects her ability to choose by providing an exporter. Blogspot does not have an export nor can I run Blogger on another web host — with WordPress it is easy!
Sure there are still some rough edges with WordPress’s experience, but with WordPress.org we all have an amazing opportunity to participate in making WordPress amazing!

I’m Leaving Flock
As you know, Julia and I are moving back to Victoria, BC on August 25th. This is primarily because of how challenging it has been for Julia to pursue her goals here in the US. WIth this move, after a little more than a year with Flock, I am leaving Flock, and September 15th will be my last day.

My Bachelor Party
My good friends Bernie, Chris and Caley took my caving for my “stag”. We stayed at Chris’ cabin on Forbidden Plateau for the night. It was amazing beyond words!
I only uploaded the photos now. Here are some of my favorites:

One year at Flock
A year ago today at 12:15 AM I saw Flock mentioned on Bryght and emailing co-founder Boris, but first I tried to get in the private beta without an invite. I discovered I could access the data in the demo web service, but could not do much else without ‘their special browser“.
Boris responded “ Want a job there? I could probably hook it up for you. They’re making an alternative version of Firefox, that will also be open source.”
I responded “No harm in making the connection”. Within three days I was hired as the 10th full time employee, and Bart introduced me as Flock’s “QA/Community QA/Testing and more guy”.
