<p>I have a lot to say, but I’m quite speechless at this very
moment.<br>
Until I recover from the shock :<br>
I wish you all the best and thank you for all you’ve done for
this community, Stray!!<br>

effort, wisdom and consideration, that you give to the community on
a daily basis.</p>
<p>I did try to persuade my publisher to let me write my book in
AS3, but that's not going to happen :) It was going to be in
python, and now it is in javascript for node - so, quite a lot to
learn there!</p>
<p>My book production schedule starts in earnest in a week's time,
and I know that it will be hard (Head First books are like trying
to make a movie and write a book at the same time!) so sadly there
is no more of me to spread around.</p>
<p>I had toyed with just doing support, or just helping with
documentation... but I'm not very good at moderation :)</p>
<p>Many, many thanks for lots of great learning over the last
couple of years - I love that the forum is in such safe hands,</p>

<p>I hope you’ll reconsider your decision later, after
publishing your book. Sleep on it ;-)<br>
Don’t close (all) the doors behind you.</p>
<p>No matter how little or rare your contribution to this community
will be, one thing’s for sure, it will be invaluable!</p></div>Ondina D.F.tag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/204534582012-11-05T18:53:01Z2012-11-05T18:53:01ZSo long, robotleggers<div><p>Stray,</p>
<p>Can't say much about your decision, but knowing you a bit, it
was surely the well thought one. I'm sure we'll meet again in
Sherwood and have great talks. The biggest THANK YOU goes for your
input to the framework and the community, great talks here and
there. For me there will be a picture I remember of you Shaun and
Till sitting and working on Robotlegs 2 in Sherwood :)<br>
So as the gamers say,<br>
GLHF (Good Luck Have Fun)<br>

with optimisation, and I can't wait to see you again at
try{harder}.</p>
<p>No doubt I'll call on you to review parts of my book as
well.</p>
<p>Thanks for the kind words, Stray x</p></div>Straytag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/204534582012-11-05T20:06:19Z2012-11-05T20:06:19ZSo long, robotleggers<div><p>@ondina I think after my book is done my wife is hoping that
she'll get to write <em>her</em> book, but thanks for indicating
that I'll be welcomed back - it's very warming.</p>
<p>I'm a terrible addict though - dipping in isn't really my style.
Fortunately the rehab for leaving behind the robotlegs codebase
isn't quite so arduous as my previous ones!</p>

the community, you will be missed.. and then welcomed back as soon
as you're bored of that silly JabbleScript language ;-)</p></div>Shaun Smithtag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/204534582012-11-06T00:02:51Z2012-11-06T00:02:51ZSo long, robotleggers<div><p>Thanks Shaun, it has been awesome-sauce.</p>
<p>I feel like i grew up working on Robotlegs - and got out an
order of magnitude more than I put in.</p>
<p>JabbleScript is the future they tell me. But then they promised
us flying cars and self-cleaning ovens, so I'll believe it when I
see it. xx</p></div>Straytag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/204534582012-11-10T16:18:41Z2012-11-10T16:18:41ZSo long, robotleggers<div><p>Stray I wish you all the best for your book which sounds like
its going to be a fantastic read and I look forward to sitting down
and having a peruse on publish. You have been a real inspiration in
many ways, not just through the RL portal. Good luck x</p></div>simontag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/204534582012-11-10T16:59:01Z2012-11-10T16:59:01ZSo long, robotleggers<div><p>Simon - thank you! I think you've encouraged and stretched me as
much as any other individual - especially around end-to-end
testing, and processes in general.</p>
<p>I look back to our chats a couple of years ago and can't believe
how much we've grown - like so many others in this circle. I think
I grew more in the period since I got involved with Robotlegs than
my entire programming career up to that point.</p>
<p>See ya on skype - when you're less crazy busy I'd love to talk a
few ideas and puzzles through with you.</p>

will no doubt rock. You're in for some painful (due to JS) and
exciting times. Refocusing is necessary, especially if you're as
gifted as you are. Needless to say though, your voice of reason and
immaculate analytic skills will be severely missed in RL. Wishing
you all the best and hoping you won't be a stranger ;)<br>

Microsoft Typescript, the pain is slightly less.</p></div>Nikos tag:robotlegs.tenderapp.com,2009-10-18:Comment/204534582012-11-22T21:40:39Z2012-11-22T21:40:39ZSo long, robotleggers<div><p>Stray, I wish you the best of luck with writing your book! It
sounds very exciting. I can honestly say I have learned the most
valuable lessons from the Robotlegs project and its forum, and
that's for a large part thanks to your insightful views and
discussions.</p></div>Abel de Beer
