⇥ Goodbye from T·A·B
This is my last post on this blog. I have enjoyed having a place where I could write my thoughts more or less as they formed in my mind, and it seems that a fair number of people enjoyed reading what I had to say.
But times change. I own a company that deals almost exclusively with PHP knowledge, and it seems absurd that I should write about PHP here while php|a almost never gets to publish my pieces.
By the same token, various pieces that I write on Mac and on computing in general often make their way to a number of other publications, where they reach a broader audience and undergo the professional scrutiny that, for obvious reasons, cannot be part of a personal blog’s editorial process.
More than anything else, however, I’ve decided that I want to do fewer, but more meaningful, things with my life. In the past year or so, this blog has often had to take a backseat while other activities demanded, and usually received, my attention. I’m not a big fan of doing things halfway, so, instead of allowing it to sputter along with the occasional post, I’m going to let it fade gracefully into the twilight.
This Website will remain up, but from this point on only as an archive of words that I have written, and as a bibliography of words that I will write elsewhere.
If you have ever visited T·A·B, thank you. If you’ve ever found something here useful, you’re welcome.

I am sorry to hear that.
I just subscribed your blog from Google Reader yesterday.
Where can I get your latest update?

I understand the decision, much as it bums me out. I don’t virtually see enough of you recently, and we gotta fix that!
Thank you for the well written en clear reasoning on this blog. I’ve been enjoying your posts ever since your keynote on Dutch PHP Conference in ’08 or ’09.
A shame to see it end here. All the best in your future endeavours.
Farewell
