All Angles IT is Moving
I have been located in the Greater Seattle Area (less-than-affectionately-referred-to-as her) for the past 7 years and frankly I have had a bit of a love-hate relationship with her, in all honesty though it has been more of a HATE-love relationship. Now lets be honest I LOVE the tech job market in Seattle, and I have family here which makes life a bit easier. That is really where my hate relationship starts. I hate the traffic (it is not bad it is just idiotic – I can only deal with so much passive-aggressive – just pick one), I hate the housing market (why should anyone buy a condo for 300K anywhere – especially in Seattle), I hate the weather (do you know how hard it is to wake up in the morning when the sun can’t even be bothered to rise?). Trust me I could go on.
I was recently offered and have decided to accept a position in Dallas, TX and as such I will be relocating there for 2012. My new position will allow me to continue with some of my favorite technologies (ZFS), and start learning some new ones with Xen being the most interesting for me.
How Will This Affect My Customers?
By now you should have received an email from me providing some more detail around how this will affect your individual situation. If you have not please contact me and I can resend. But generally, I will continue to be able to provide remote support, with new hardware being shipped through me for configuration, and online/telephone support for existing hardware.
How Will This Affect My Readers?
Well in theory there could be some downtime associated with this site (while I move from one server to another or while we wait for DNS changes to propogate). I would suspect that the actual downtime with the site itself will be minimal, though updates will be scant until I am fully moved and operational in Texas. I will also probably be slow when it comes to moderating comments and responding to emails, though I should be able to respond to emails more quickly than comments.
