Topic: My last day at Taldren

[David Ferrell]

I just wanted to let everyone know that today is my last day at Taldren.

I have decided to take my family back to Missouri, as the life here in
Southern California has not agreed with us.  I will miss this place and
all of you, but it is time to move on.

To those I may have offended I leave you with these word from the Bard:

 If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,  
That you have but slumber?d here  
While these visions did appear.  
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,  
Gentles, do not reprehend:  
If you pardon, we will mend.  
And, as I?m an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck  
Now to ?scape the serpent?s tongue,  
We will make amends ere long;  
Else the Puck a liar call:
So, good night unto you all.  
Give me your hands, if we be friends,  
And Robin shall restore amends.

Sincerely,

David A Ferrell

Good travel to you and yours, and keep in touch! You will be remembered even if you don't but...

David,

You let all of US know when you get settled in.

You can call me ( I think you have my number) or drop me an email any time!

Best,
Jerry

Take care man, I know I never actually spoke to you on here, but I enjoyed reading your posts and you did a great job. I hope you find something better for yourself and your family, and good luck for the future.

May your journey be filled with discovery...and your destination with understanding...

[TalonClaw]

  Holy COW!  Sad news.

Good luck and god bless you.  Thank you for all the hard work on getting SFC patched up.

I sent this via PM, but thought it might help to post it too

You had better let us know that you and family are doing well.

Dang nabit, David, I feel aweful about this. Know that we are parting friends. I hope you've lined up something "back home" that will be as fullfilling as this experience.

Damnmit, I really don't know what to say except that I know that we'll miss you badly.

Best,
Jerry

Dave,

First and foremost, Good Luck. I wish you and your family well.

As for the banning of "Death Merchant", I've known him for a few years, and he tells me that it's no biggie...
I (oops, He) has no hard feelings, and hopes you feel the same.

Be Well,
DM

Thank you for all your hard work. I wish you and your family well.

Last day working at Taldren... hope you find something else to do that's worth your time and effort.

as for these forums...  keep coming  and may your successor be as generous as you were in maintaining a dialog with the community.

Good luck in the future!

good luck and safe sojourn wherever you and yours go Dave.

My thanks for all your work on these games we love, and I wish you well for the future.

[Mr. Hypergol]

Doggon it.  This IS sad news for me.  I'll miss seeing David's posts here on the forum.  Everytime you see one of Dave's posts you know something great is happening with SFC.

I sent Dave an email back when the latest patch for OP came out.  I told him that even though he didn't really know me personally he had made a positive impact in my life.  And I ment it.  I have had so much fun with SFC over the last few years and his dedication to the patches for EAW and OP have been a huge part of that.

Dave, great job.  I hope this post makes your day again.

Good luck in your future endeavours.

Well, Dave, it has always been a pleasure to read your posts here. I've also appreciated all your work on the SFC series. Not many people have the tenacity to stick with a game for as long as you have. Good luck in all your future endeavours.

[Captain Krenn]

Man

Take care out there and make sure you let us know you're OK.

Missouri?  Wow, thats not that far away from Oklahoma.

 

[CaptStumpy]

Good luck in your endeavors and thanks for all your work on OP.

[Dogmatix!]

Good luck and best wishes to you and your family in your future endeavours, Dave, and thank you very much for all your hard work on the SFC series.  I'm sure a lot of it went above-and-beyond the call of duty and for that, I'm personally very grateful.

Though I can understand your reasons for wanting to return to a better environment for your family, it is a sad day indeed for Taldren. You and Scott (and others I do not know) put in SO MUCH work for us, something very, very few game companies are willing to do after releasing a product.

I've heard similar tales from other people in regards to the environment in California, perhaps Taldren should move to to another state as well? Regardless, I wish you and your family a very safe trip to your new home and new job...

Just remember, if the employer wants references, just tell him of course, not only from work sites but also at Taldren forums, over 6,000 of them, hehehehehehe...
