I am Leaving Overclocking/Gomeler.com

April 1st, 2008 at 00:01 under Personal, Status.

It comes with a heavy heart for me to announce this, but I will be leaving Gomeler.com to pursue my lifelong dream of creating and managing a successful Web 5.0 startup. The board of directors for CeilingCatIndustries.com have thoughtfully appointed me as their new CEO, CFO, CAO, CDO, CZO, and 3DO. I don’t precisely know what all these titles mean, but I do know my new office and business cards will be extra large to reflect these changes in position. There was no job description with the job offer however under “PERKZ” was a list of 1 LOLCAT LAFF PER HOUR, 2 CHEEZBURGER PER MEAL, 6 VACASHUN DAIS PER WEEK. I am as stumped as you are but I figured I can only be moving up in the world. In preparation for my new position I have begun reading many books on how to run a startup company. I’ve got this sinking feeling that I’ll be drastically overwhelmed but I’m not worried, Ceiling Cat Industries sounds like a sweet place to work at. I think that’s about it, so long computers and cascades, hello creativity and Web 5.0!

There will be a live auction held next Saturday in Atlanta at 11am for all the hardware associated with Gomeler.com. Included in the auction will be two 2-stage cascades, multiple dry ice tubes, half a dozen motherboards, multiple memory kits, and a slew of processors. All proceeds will go to the charity of the buyers choice. I will however be keeping my Crucial 10th Anniversary sticks, handpicked D9GMH is a keeper, even if it doesn’t work anymore. Hope to see you all there!

    @Nadder yeah I know… took me a second to realize the date… (before actually reading the post)

    I saw the post title over at 9rules and was like, NNOOOOOO!!! (darth vader style)

    So I quickly clicked on the link and started reading. You had me up until the part you stated that all proceeds will go to the charity of the buyers choice. We all know that wouldn’t happen! :P

    What exactly is Ceiling Cat?? The announcement says they are “making each and every day both fun and productive.” The cat image and writing is very LOLcats. Will this be similar?

    “i hate you guys…”

    Heh, I had a blast making this post and the accompanying website. Best $9 ever spent. I honestly don’t know what I’ll do with it, I’m considering using it in some sort of professional sense though. In reality I have some awesome toys coming down the pipeline and I think I can skirt my duties at Ceiling Cat Industries to partake in them =D
