No longer at webMethods

May 13, 2005 4:00 PM

Yup, I'm not at webMethods anymore. Surprised? Yeah, me too! Disappointed? Well, don't be.

I've decided to work on my own company for as long as my savings can support it. It should be fun, challenging, exiting, and I get to work on projects I've wanted to spend more time on for many years. I already have many ideas I'm working on, such as TeacherReviews and this yet-to-named blogging and photo album software. Now it's just a mater of focusing and making money.

A very brief personal history: At the end of college I turned down an opportunity to stay with Microsoft to join webMethods back when webMethods was less than 100 people because I believed in the vision, loved the people, and I wanted to learn about working for a start-up. Six years later I have a learning experience that can't be beat by any MBA program. Hopefully I've learned the right things at webMethods to be successful at my own venture. Of course I don't know everything, so maybe some day I might be lucky enough to extend an opportunity to a former webMethods coworker or two to come work for me.

I've received a bunch of emails asking if I need anything. Thank you for being so generous. The only thing I can ask is to make sure we're "linked" on LinkedIn.com so that I can continue to keep in touch with you. If you would like, I would greatly appreciate your "endorsement" on LinkedIn as well. Your honest impression of me and my work will go along way as I look for partnerships, funding, or, if my business ideas don't work out, future employment. I will be returning your generosity by posting endorsements of your work as well.

My LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=566313

Thank you everybody at webMethods for the great experience. I've enjoyed working with everyone, I had a great time, and I hope you continue to do great things at webMethods.

Good luck. If you need any development work, let me know. I signed up for linkedin, but I don't know my "account number"

Good luck with the new venture, I'm imagining it's a bit scary, but good to not be workin' for the man.. ;)

Dylan,

I pulled the RSS from Trevor's blog, but I got Dylangreene.com's feeds, not trevorgreene.com's feeds. I used Onfolio to capture the feeds.

Just an fyi.

Thanks everybody.

Novs - thanks, just fixed that bug.

mate, if you're interested in doing a podcast for TPN, give me a holler! Congrats on the decision to follow your dreams, it's something I highly recommend.

Wow Cameron - thanks for the offer! I might have to take you up on that as we get closer to Gnomedex.
