Final Letter from the Editor: The Awkward Goodbye
by Kyle Rankin
Have you ever met up with a friend at a restaurant for dinner, then
after dinner you both step out to the street and say a proper goodbye,
only when you leave, you find out that you both are walking in the same
direction? So now, you get to walk together awkwardly until the true
point where you part, and then you have another, second goodbye, that's
much more awkward.
That's basically this post.
So, it was almost two years ago that I first said goodbye to Linux
Journal and the Linux Journal community in my post "So Long and Thanks
for All the Bash". That post was a proper goodbye. For starters, it had
a catchy title with a pun. The post itself had all the elements of a
proper goodbye: part retrospective, part "Thank You" to the Linux
Journal team and the community, and OK, yes, it was also part rant. I
recommend you read (or re-read) that post, because it captures my
feelings about losing Linux Journal way better than I can muster here on
our awkward second goodbye.
