On Tuesday (September 1st, 2009) I had the long-awaited phone call from my manager, and am now able to report that I will be leaving Sun on September 30th, after 20 years and 7 months. Yes, this differs from my previous post, and it’s not the first change of plan, but it’s hard to soar like eagles…

Although I’ve been waiting for this for some time, I’m still quite numb. Most of the last 20 years has been a lot of fun, but I’m not leaving the company I joined. However, there are still some very special people at Sun, and I will miss being their colleague.

I hope to post a few more things here before taking up “garden leave”, and to rehost the blog elsewhere so that I can continue to share a few morsels from time to time. I’m not sure what the future holds, but I know who holds the future, and that He has a plan.
