Yes it's true

Some of you might have heard this already; I'm both happy and sad to admit it's true. After 8 great years at Adobe/Macromedia/Allaire I've decided it's time to move on and start my own consulting business with Jeff Tapper. What can I say the entrepreneurial itch needed to be scratched. Jeff, Angie, and I will be focusing on ColdFusion, Flex2, and other Adobe products.

You might think this is no big deal, perhaps you are thinking what the F$@%, or maybe it?s how can I use this to my advantage. ;)

However, don't worry I've left the ColdFusion team in good shape. There are some exciting things planned for Scorpio, but you'll need to wait and see, I still can't tell you what is planned. ;)

So if you are looking for some expert help drop me or Jeff an email. My new email is "mikenimer at yahoo dot com".

Argh! But good luck Mike!

Hmm...I guess that must mean there's no Flash Forms in Scorpio. ;) Best wishes, Mike.

Good luck Mike. I had been hoping to work on the ArcGIS Server ColdFusion connector with you...I am sure you will be a man in demand in the world at large. All the best.

Who knew how many people your work would impact when you packed all you stuff in your car and swung by Ft. Collins on your way to go work for Allaire. Thanks for helping make ColdFusion the product is today.

Best of luck!

Best of luck to you, Mike. Sorry to hear about the loss (for Adobe) though. Don't be a stranger...

Best wishes to you man!

Good luck and thanks for all of your work.

I'm very confident you will succeed with your new company and am eager to hear of your progress.

Take care,
Mike.

Good luck Mike, I totally understand the need for "something new". Looking forward to seeing you around the blogosphere.

Best of luck to you Mike! You have raised a great product and we are thankfull for it, and I know this will not be the last time we hear from you.

Wow. Well, as one who has been through the departure process, I know the mixed feelings you may have--and that others may have about the move. :-)

Still, life goes on and each challenge is a new opportunity to stretch, and we may well all benefit from the new freedom you'll have. Even if you end up working nose to the grindstone, we will all have benefited tremendously from your work on the product and in the community.

You've been such a great ambassador for the CF team and like everyone else I say a hearty thanks and best wishes to you, Jeff, and your team in the new venture.

Wow! It's the year of changes in the Nimer household! First you get married and then you start your own consulting company. Congrats and good luck!

Mike!

Congrats, condolences, best of luck.

The consulting gig is a rough one... but I'm sure with your visibility through Adobe you'll be as busy as you can handle.

Good luck, man!

This is the part where things get exciting and scary at the same time (like butterflies in your stomach when you're dating someone new :) ). Best of luck to you and Jeff!

# Posted By Jeff Coughlin | 8/9/06 8:39 PM

Wow, what can I say guys - Thanks! for all the kind words.

# Posted By Mike Nimer | 8/9/06 11:56 PM

If anyone knows of a solid software engineer we've got an open requisition on the CF team with Mike's departure. I'll post the job description in a few days on my blog as soon as the Req has been officially opened.

Again, best of luck Mike! Been a hell of ride :)

Mike, let us know your XBox Live gamertag so we can kick your butt for fun (and not for want of new features). Mine is "Desktop General"!

# Posted By Peter Tilbrook | 8/12/06 4:52 AM

I hate to admit that I don't have an xbox, but if that's not a good excuse to get one I don't know what is. :)

# Posted By Mike Nimer | 8/13/06 5:29 PM

Good luck, Mike. I hope you know what you're getting yourself into. That Tapper's a wily character. ;-) What an awesome team you'll make. If only I could afford you. What's the URL of the new company?

Cheers,

Bob

# Posted By Bob Flynn | 8/31/06 12:05 PM
