It's been a hell of a ride over the past 4-plus years at Tucows: somehow getting hired even though I had the worst interview ever, free massages every week and paid lunches on Fridays (ah, the benefits of joining Tucows during the tail end of the Golden Age of Dot-com), getting over a stock option fiasco, surviving through the Bubble Burst (300+ down to 120-odd employees in a month and a half), causing the company to blow $64,000USD in 10 minutes with a not-so-minor bug in one of my apps, butting heads with management, getting paged during Christmas Eve dinner, love/hate (mostly hate) relationship with QA, hoops in the lobby, Nerf Wars, Flame Wars, Perl vs. Java Wars, Platform Wars, and of course, Foosball Wars.

Along the way I've accomplished so much, learned even more, worked with so many great people, and formed lasting friendships.  The people here are great, the work is good; Tucows had truly become family.  It was a very, very hard decision for me to leave.  In the end, it was a great opportunity that pulled me away from Tucows.

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly though it's not easy to tell you goodbye [ I gotta ] Take a risk, Take a chance, Make a change and Breakawaaaaay

Good bye Tucows, thank you for the memories...
