So long, and thanks for all the fish

I've had a brilliant time championing & supporting CircuitStudio and other software products for Farnell/Newark/Element14 both directly and here on the community. Alas, the end is nigh - I have been caught up in the latest round of redundancies brought on by a sustained slowdown in the general marketplace.

You are a great community and it has been a pleasure serving you all. I would say "don't panic" as temporary plans are now in place as I transition out of the organisation. The company will continue to provide support so you can still contact software@element14.com and connect with my (soon to be former) colleagues. Hang on in there regarding CircuitStudio - although no software update is imminent if the currently vague plans of Altium come to fruition then you should all have something to look forward to.

I'll be off by the end of this week to contemplate life, the universe and everything - at least until I find that next great opportunity that I hope will be as good as the one I'm just finishing.

All the best to everyone,

Peter

Peter,
Thank you for all of your support. You've been quite helpful to the community. Coincidentally, you're leaving on my 42nd birthday.

Oh now this news has certainly ruined the day - you're definitely going to be missed here. Definitely owe you a pint or two at the pub for all of your efforts.

Good luck with whatever comes next for you.

That's sad news. I hope the future holds something better than having to put up with us whinging about something you have no control over ;-)

Cheers,

It's been great fun and that's what support forums are for - a bit of whinging and whining, offering tips & advice, pestering for updates and fixes from suppliers, having a laugh, letting of steam and hopefully receiving some helpful advise as you go along. I will genuinely miss it but hope you guys all continue to participate and get something from it.
