Hey, remember I was talking about ownership of what you work on, and the fact that I get depressed when I think about my lack of ownership/control about what I wrote for io9 the other day?
It may be difficult to tell from that screenshot, but that’s what happens if you click on my name on any story I’ve written for that site now. Instead of a profile that lists all of my stories, you get a “Profile not found” page. I found that out yesterday, finding an old story of mine while Googling for information on something, and then clicking through to have what I expected would be a bittersweet moment of nostalgia.
There’s no malice behind it, I don’t think; the site has been updated and overhauled at least twice since I left, and it’s more than likely no-one bothered to update profiles for writers who weren’t with the company any more when such updates were being made. But still, it’s a funny/sad full stop to that whole period of my life, I guess, and an illustration of what I was talking about before.
At least you can still find me on Techland.
