I'm currently not at liberty to explain how it all went down, but I promise to go into detail next month after things have solidified. It was unlike anything I have ever experienced. No one really blogs about what its like when a company fails - the disintegration of morale, the death of the product, and the denial that leads up to the final stake. There are also of course obligatory lessons learned, technical at times but mostly personal, that I hope to detail over the next couple of months in short posts. Hopefully they will be useful for a young gun thinking to get into the startup world, especially someone else's startup.
In the meanwhile, I've decided to finally move to San Francisco and end a commuting relationship of 2 years. I'm very excited to plug the holes in my personal life that my job has kept me from fully exploring. I am also excited to get be in a city exploding with technical prowess and excitement.
For now, I'm getting my crap together and in a month or so will start to act on what's next. I'm hoping to spend an additional month or two working on some projects I've always wanted to complete (thanks to @yood for the inspiration!). After that I'll probably move into a consulting position or the right full time position should it fall in my lap. More on that later as well once I defrag from all the excitement of the past month.
That being said, my first mission when I get to the bay area is to rally the Plone community that appears to be sleeping soundly there. Be prepared for meetups, sprints, shenanigans and various references to pants. This is your warning ploners... there will be beer.
