To StillSecure – Goodbye and good luck

I have not blogged for a few weeks now. When last I left you all I was in NYC reminiscing about returning home to the city.  The following week I celebrated my birthday.  On reflection I realized that this was the beginning of the 9th year of my life that I had given to making StillSecure a success.  In this day in age, 8 or 9 years at the same job or company is almost unheard of. After much soul searching I came to the conclusion that for the next decade of my life it was time to do something different.  So after speaking with board members and Raj Bhargava, StillSecure CEO, I am leaving StillSecure effective today.

I have had the chance to meet lots of people, do lots of different things and really play a meaningful role in building this company. For that I am very grateful.  The experience, the friendships and the memories will last me a lifetime.  But all good things come to an end and it is time for me to find the next adventure in my life.  I wish all of my friends at StillSecure good bye and good luck as they continue to to make StillSecure a great company.

What am I going to do next?  I honestly don’t know.  I am going to take a few weeks to spend time with my wife and sons (whom I have been too often away from over all these years).  I am going to clear my head and see what opportunities are out there. 

In the meantime I will continue blogging as I have in the past. Now no one can accuse me of being a “vendor puke” and I hope I can be objective. I am going to change the name of the blog to “the ashimmy blog” and the domain http://www.ashimmy.com already should work.  I will be redesigning as well over the coming weeks.  I also want to spend more time making the security bloggers network site more of a destination and resource for the security blogging community.

You can reach me at ashimmy (at) hotmail. com if you would like or of course leave a comment.

I hope you will all continue to find the blog as entertaining and useful as you have in the past.

thanks

Alan
