10+ YEARS


Over 10 years ago, I wrote my first blog post. Since then, I've authored books, had kids, traveled the world, found Trish and blogged about it all.

The Last Page

I started this blog way back in August 2002 as a way of sharing tips and tricks I'd learned with other Java Developers. It's been a fun ride for the last 5 years, and I do think having a blog is a great way to document your life's history.

For the last two weeks, I've only blogged a couple times and it's been really nice. After last week's incident, I think it's time to retire from the blogosphere. So here it is, my last entry. It's been a great ride y'all, thanks for reading. Hopefully we'll still see each other around - maybe on a mailing list or at a conference someday.

Cheers!

Tuesday Evening: April Fools! The hardest part of an April's Fools entry is making it believable. Looks like leaving it up for a few days was the trick. To Jim and Dave (who were offended by the way I used the Kathy Sierra incident) - I'm sorry. It was the only thing I could think that y'all might actually believe. ;-)

Ahh.. for a while i thought Matt was moving away from the technical side and losing interest in the blog. Nice AF try.

What if the April Fool's joke is that this time it's true? That would probably be his most effective April Fool's prank ever... I guess it's a wait and see... But thankfully, I don't think he can stay away...

Doh. You got me :(

Despite enjoying your excellent blog, I almost hope this isn't an April's Fools joke. It would be pathetic to "joke" about events that you seemed so concerned over just a week ago. If it is the end, then thank you for the years of help. If not, then please consider your jokes a bit more carefully.

Made me smile, so it was a joke to me. If you check yourself too often, you'll just not be funny to anyone.

Brilliant! You got me 'till the comments...

Posted by Tony on April 02, 2007 at 09:34 PM MDT #

Phew! Well that's a relief! The jokes on me I guess....I actually lost sleep over this and only read the comments today.....It is a joke right?

Posted by Andrew J Leer on April 03, 2007 at 06:15 AM MDT #

No, I don't think this is an April fools joke. As a previous poster said, I don't think Matt would have brought up the serious event he blogged about earlier in the context of a "joke", so I really do think he's done. Pity. I've enjoyed his blog. Good luck to you, Matt.
