Yes. It's been a year since I took a job as a webdeveloper for Core Factor, a small company in Lisbon working on IT Consulting and Design.

If you would ask me why haven't I written about this before, I'd probably tell you it was due to lack of time or for privacy reasons... the truth is, I don't know why.

What I do know is that all some good things come to an end. Yes, as of last friday, I'm no longer a member of the team. See? A whole year just went by in a couple of lines.

From the past few months, I remember a standards-proficient conference, an online publication with a challenging IA and good, discrete use of Ajax, a very complete intranet and much, much more.

It was quite rewarding seeing a company being born. Including all the inherent difficulties and doubts around bootstrapping.

What's next?

Right now, I'm walking steadily towards new challenges, but I want to wish everyone at Core Factor the best of luck for the future. It was an exciting year, with many lessons learned along the way.

Next chapter is just around the corner. More on that later.
