[BlueOnyx:22980] Until we meet again...

[Dogsbody]

Just wanted to say an official au revoir as we have just turned off our 
last BlueOnyx server and I'll be leaving this mailing list soon.

It's been quite a ride from Cobalt -> BlueQuartz -> BlueOnyx.

I worked at Sun Microsystems back in 1999 and bought myself a little 
Cobalt Qube for home. From there I rented a Cobalt Raq server, then two, 
then three and ran "Dogsbody Hosting" as a hobby.

When Sun shut down Cobalt (I could rant about this for hours) I migrated 
my systems to my own servers running BlueQuartz.

When BlueQuartz started to stutter I migrated my servers to BlueOnyx.

In 2010 I left the 9-5 and started up my own consultancy company, using 
a lot of the skills I had gained from hosting and running Linux servers 
for over 10 years.

20 years later and I don't recognise myself. The company I started 9 
years ago now has staff and we're now building highly available and 
scalable Linux solutions for large e-commerce providers.

While I may have sworn at BlueOnyx at various times in my life, I still 
look at it fondly and will miss it... in a strange sort of way.

Keep up the great work everyone. Open source is a thankless task.

Most of all though, enjoy what you do :-)

Dan
