The King is Dead... Long Live the King!

Long story short - this will probably be my last blog entry. "The king is dead..." If this blog had thousands of readers and other developers who where participating in the discussion, then I might reconsider keeping this blog alive, but that is not the reality. However...

"Long live the king!" While I've decided that blogging takes too much time from actual coding, I'm not totally leaving the scene. In a way, you can think of this as a regeneration (Doctor Who fans will understand). The blog has died, but it's reborn in a new, different way. If you are interested in SURRAnet or software development in general, and you want to continue following my development of SURRAnet (as well as other software products like my new iPad app called "Word Cross"), then I invite you to follow me at these sites:

The SURRAnet Facebook Fanpage - this page will basically pick up where this blog left off, except that it won't provide such long and detailed writeups. Facebook allows me to do more while requiring me to do less - more frequent, quicker, almost Twitter-like posts, but also screenshots, notes for when I want to write something "long and detailed", discussions, etc.

The SURRAtech Website - SURRAtech is the name of my "company" website, which right now is just me :-) I needed a domain from which to host apps, open source code, etc. This website is a work in progress, but it will be where I host SURRAnet code, instructions on how to download and use SURRAnet, etc. It also will host my other projects, which I expect will grow once SURRAnet 3.0 is finished.

The SURRAtech Twitter Feed - For those who prefer Twitter updates over Facebook, this feed will basically provide a mirror to the Facebook page, but it also includes updates regarding other projects of mine as well.

My GHCA Blog - If your interest is more in me and the type of things I do, then you may be interested in my main blog at Greater Houlton Christian Academy. GHCA is my primary employer, where I work as their system administrator and a part-time Computer Technology teacher.

I originally was going to delete this blog, but I realized that it's a good "diary" of at least some of my thoughts and experiences working on SURRAnet 3.0. In some ways I wish I had started a blog like this way back in 2002 when SURRAnet first began to take form. I'll keep the blog online for these memories, and for the links to the above resources. Thank you all who have been following my work, and I hope the new "king" will continue to serve you well!
