Today, exactly 27 years and 7 days after I wrote my first Net Results column, I'm retiring it (and me, though I'll still do occasional pieces and book reviews for the Irish Times). What an amazing trip it's been! I've been incredibly honoured to write the IT's tech column for such an incredible expanse of tech history. Thanks for reading, if you've joined me any time over those years :) 🖥️

@klillington It was great to meet you at our Install fest last year. We've not had one since sadly but we're hoping to start using the TOG hackerspace more regularly in the new year :)

@klillington Congrats! Thanks for all the informed and thoughtful writing - and continually pushing the scope of tech writing to include the implications for wider society on so many fronts over such an important time.

Was great to finally meet you at the recent @ComePeerWithMe event!

Look forward to still reading your work wherever it may appear :)
