sangiro 26 #1 September 15, 2004 Heya all, About 3 months ago I realized that the combination of Dropzone.com and my "real job" at Sapient has finally become a bit too much for me. As a Director at Sapient I work pretty full days and then sit down between 9:00 PM and 2:00 AM to clean out my Dropzone.com Inbox and try to write a few lines of code.... Dropzone.com has been piling up in my mind as well. I have a load of ideas that I'd like to implement with simply no time to do so. That frustrates me. I keep thinking of how and knowing that I can make this better... and I can't find the time to do it the way I want to. So it became time to choose. I submitted my resignation back then and today (September 15) was my last day at Sapient. Just thought I'd let you know that I'll be putting all my time and energy into the site in the near future. Expect some changes as we go along. In the future, this is also how I'll have to pay my bills. Thanks to everyone who have supported me over many years in many ways. You guys rock! This was not an easy decision but the people certainly makes it worth the risk and the effort and I plan to have a silly amount of fun doing this! Check out what's coming soon. Thank for your support over the years. Much more to come! Safe swoops Sangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ypelchat 0 #6 September 15, 2004 That's a good decision for us skydivers. DZ.com is simply THE skydiving web site, and will become even better as a result of your decision. I hope all skydiving businesses will advertise more and more on DZ.com, so you can continue your full time work on DZ.com, and be able to pay your bills as well. Keep up the good work Sangiro. Yves.
