15.04.08: Shutting Up Shop

I often wondered what drives people to stop their blogs. It was something I hadn't even given thought to doing before today, but now, with a heavy heart, I am shutting up shop. In the same breath, I am not going to shy away from the reason why. I used to have a theory that people couldn't be trusted. I even used to have the mantra “DTA. Don't Trust Anybody”. But the more I worked where I work, the less I believed this was true. Until today. It transpires that a couple of people I consider to be friends actually aren't. To the point where they actually went behind my back and drove a sword through it (that metaphor was carefully chosen). And I think some of it may have something to do with this blog, so, I am shutting it down. The reason I am having to take such drastic measures is that what these former friends have done may in the end actually end up costing me my job. So I am putting out some of the fire right now. What is here will remain until my ownership expires, but I won't be doing any further work on it. However, I will be fuelling my creativity somewhere else, so, all is not lost. Just a shame so much has to be destroyed for something else to be born. See you all in another life...
