"...but time and chance happen to them all."
I've just found out that my company will turn back into a pumpkin ("suspend active operations") on the 30th. Three and a half weeks to take down the sites, shut down the networks, stick the demos on autopilot, raid the phone buckets for spare parts, and so forth.

We've had a good run of it, mind you. Five years is well over par in this business, especially if you're silly enough to get involved in mobile and music at the same time, ie, the two technology businesses most appallingly dominated by soul-blightingly evil wannabe-monopolists. We came very close to success at least twice and we're going out largely intact, which is a testament to our CEO's skills (not that he'd see it that way -- he's utterly devastated at the moment, taking it harder than any of the rest of us).

Anyway, this also means that I'm back on the job market. My resumé can be found here if you happen to be in the market for a Senior Software Engineer or something similar.
