Last Friday was my last day at Resolver Systems. I am now doing contracting work (mostly Python) for various clients, and I plan to move back to Greece soon.

While I enjoyed working at Resolver Systems, and I am grateful for the chance of working with such a smart and knowledgeable team, a lot of small reasons quickly added up to this decision.

The main reason I guess is the London weather and lifestyle. When I moved to London 1 year ago I was brimming with excitement (new city, new experiences etc). After 1 year of rain, clouds and cold, the excitement wore off. I have to confess though that London in spring and summer is beautiful. I'll be back for EuroPython in June, and hopefully I'll stay a few days.

Another problem was the lack of close friends. I guess I gravitate to a "loner" lifestyle if left to my own devices, which isn't good. When you have a lot of friends around, you never have the chance to be alone.

I never regret my choice of coming here - it has made me a stronger person, and of course if I ever get bored in Athens I can always move back. It's easier when you've done it once already :)

Alea iacta est, as the Romans would say. I will be doing some exciting PyObjC stuff for the next couple of months, which hopefully I'll be able to blog about. Here's to an exciting future!

My infinite gratitude again to the wonderful team at Resolver Systems, and of course they are welcome to visit lovely Greece any time!
