I'm Leaving (InstantSpot)

Personal

Seems like an easy decision, right? I mean, it's just web application, right? It's not. I mean, it is just a web app, but it wasn't an easy decision. The evil geniuses behind InstantSpot have been really good to me and, frankly, it's just so damn easy to get started and to be productive. It took me a while to decide that I wanted to take on that burden myself. But I do. More on my reasons for leaving can be found at robwilkerson.org, but the reason for this post is to talk about what's next.

First, I'm not really leaving InstantSpot (just wanted a little drama in the title, I guess). I'll still maintain a presence here in order to maintain the archive of a year's worth of posts. Also, since Google loves InstantSpot, I'll probably aggregate my new feed here as well. Over the next few days and into next week, you'll probably notice:

  1. Existing posts moved from the "blog" page to a new "archives" page
  2. The migration of existing page content moved over to robwilkerson.org
  3. A newly redefined "thinking" page that simply aggregates my new feed

For those of you that are currently subscribed to my feed (yes, both of you), please change your subscription to http://feeds.feedburner.com/robwilkerson. That URI will access the latest content.

Again, many thanks to Aaron and Dave for putting up with me for as long as they did.

Woo hoo! Guess I'll have to start twisting the screws on my mom so I can get this thing done. :-)

...and to think that this is after we built the entire new version to your spec! FYI, we don't actually allow leaving per the contract. Sorry. :)

Hope you find a good way to continue using our stuff in some capacity Rob.

oh... btw... it is "daveshuck" rather than "daveschuck"

Damn. I completely forgot to check the terms of service. Guess I'll hire a good lawyer with all the money I'm saving. :-)

I think I'll stick around. I told Aaron that I'd write a textile parser for you all to plugin as an option for those who don't want to use the full-blown WYSIWYG editor.

Sorry about the errant "c". I really do know how to spell your name. Seriously. It's fixed now.
