And so I did, with some nostalgic regret. "Rosegarden Companion" has been taken down, because it has far too much work ahead of it to pass the "fix it or ditch it" acid test, and it has too many problems in its current obsolete state. I who have ranted so many times about the dangers of obsolete documentation should have taken this step much sooner than I did. It sure was a different world back in 2004-2005, which I consider Rosegarden's "Golden Age." Next year might be the year of the Linux desktop, Rosegarden was going to solve all of its quirky problems, and above all, Linux audio was going to get organized and become friendly. Basically six years later, it's a different world. If I had any inclination to blog, this would be an excellent time to start blogging my Linux memoirs. Before the end of the year, I will have figured out where I'm going from here. This isn't a resignation yet, but a resignation is probably on the horizon. Lately, I've taken to building wooden clocks. I like the idea of working on something that can stay just the way it is indefinitely without ever becoming obsolete, and which has a very finite and limited set of goals it must achieve in order to be successful. -- D.
