For posterity these two tweets from xs4all unixbeheer dudes:
- [Wayback/Archive] Jan-Pieter Cornet on Twitter: “My last day working for XS4ALL… Did some fixes on the few servers that will remain running, wiped a lot of data, shut the door behind me, then had a nice drink with colleagues and friends. Strange feeling that I won’t go back there, but excited to be looking for new things…”
- [Wayback/Archive] corbosman on Twitter: “Today is a strange day for me. It’s my last day at XS4ALL. All customers are now at KPN and over the last week we’ve shut everything down. It has been quite a ride. Taking some time off and then on to new things.”
- [Wayback/Archive] corbosman on Twitter: “
$ ping xs4all ping: cannot resolve xs4all: Unknown host“
For me it is a strange feeling, but for Cor, Jan-Pieter and some others that also stayed until the very last it is even stranger: after so many years (or decades) at xs4all their life suddenly is very different.
I wish them well and hopefully be able to meet up every now and then.
