      <title>Digitalbrain departure</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Last week I officially (and finally, having stayed on from my initial leaving date in August) parted from &lt;a href="http://www.digitalbrain.com"&gt;Digitalbrain&lt;/a&gt;, where I have been working for over five years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I decided to leave partly due to having been there five years and it being time for a change and partly due to the fact that my life is changing, with the imminent arrival of my first child.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now away from Digitalbrain I have a little over a month before the baby is due.  I intend to use this time for a mixture of relaxing and my own projects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since it's creation approximately six years ago, &lt;a href="http://www.allsecuredomains.com"&gt;All Secure Domains&lt;/a&gt; has gone from being a three strong partnership that offered consultancy as well as Domain/Web hosting to now being a sole tradership supported only by myself.  The website needs modernising, a few bugs fixing and the customer services sorting out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Myself and some of my past colleagues are in the process of releasing a curses based keepalived configuration manager and monitor &lt;a href="http://lvsadmin.sourceforge.net"&gt;lvsadmin&lt;/a&gt;.  This was originally written by Chris before being hacked on by Huw, Simon and myself.  I intend to have the source code tidy enough for it's initial SF commit soon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I will also be looking for consultancy and freelance work, both in small doses now and in larger ones a month or two after the baby has arrived.  Please check my &lt;a href="/pages/cv_simon_pither"&gt;CV&lt;/a&gt; and contact me if you wish to discuss any possibilities.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
