I am not the Dread Pirate Roberts…

I just made the announcement at MacSysAdmin, but thought I should make the announcement here as well: I have accepted a new job that will begin on Nov. 8th, and unfortunately this means that at that point I will no longer be able to continue as the developer of InstaDMG. I have really tried to find alternate routes to this, but this is how things have worked out. I have to make a living, and unfortunately a couple of possible rotes to doing both did not work out. But the position I will be starting looks like a great opportunity, and will be a real challenge for me. It can't be stressed enough how sad about the end of my involvement with the InstaDMG. This has been my hobby for the last couple of years, and I have poured a lot of myself into its development. Now comes the real question: what does this mean for InstaDMG? First off I still have more than a month of time before I have to give it up, and I am going to try and make the most of things. I have a list of goals for myself for 1.7, and there is going to be some real changes in the layout for that version. I have also been trying to line up a new developer for InstaDMG, and thought I was going to have a new home for it to announce today, but that fell through last night. So this is very much an open question. I am working on figuring this out now. Once things get figured out on this front I will post back. It has been a lot of fun, and a real challenge to be the lead developer on InstaDMG. I am sad that I am going to have to give up my involvement, but I am looking forward to this new job.
