Then we came to the end

I’m leaving Ireland. I’ve finally beaten the procrastination engine that forms a large part of my personality and now we can have a bit of an adventure.

It’s terrible news for Jazz Biscuit, as it was created and sustained in the boredom of a desk job. The good thing about the stability of a 9 to 5 like that was how it allowed the mind to wander sufficiently to work on this site.

I’d like to think that if the odd potatoshop or comic needs doing I’ll stick it up, so in that sense maybe this isn’t the end. But it’s the end of the daily updates for the foreseeable future. Who knows; maybe where I’m going will be boring but I doubt that.

The site will stay up so those of you making use of the Image Search et all need not be concerned.

Thanks to all the readers, those who left comments, those who emailed with links and everything else.

Good luck.

  10. B'dum at 11:29 pm on 8/14/08

    …fuck.

    is the adventure a permanent thing, or just an extended holiday sort of thing?

  11. Darragh at 11:35 pm on 8/14/08

    Ah feck. Feck and a half. But thank you so much for all you’ve done for me, for the RTE and CC searches and best of luck, sir. Genuinely.

    You’ll obviously be missed.

  12. Ben at 11:36 pm on 8/14/08

    and now for the final part of my plan to be put in play . . .

    Have a good un and you’ll be missed!

  13. Pedro Monscooch at 11:49 pm on 8/14/08

    Best of luck in the future, Jazzy. Even though I never commented (I’m the shy type), my Google Reader says JB is one of the rare few with 100% posts read. You will be missed. Take care.

  14. NewsWire at 11:53 pm on 8/14/08

  19. roosta at 1:05 am on 8/15/08

    I think all the reaction to your leaving is testament to the quality of your site. Says it all.

    Good luck sir, we’ll try and keep the home fires burning.

    Off The Meatrack

  20. NiallOK at 1:30 am on 8/15/08

    Enjoy yourself in your newer pastures…

  24. tina at 9:20 am on 8/15/08

    Aaaaawww, too bad. I hope you’re going somewhere nice, where people actually have use for summer clothes… Good luck.

  25. emordino at 9:37 am on 8/15/08

    Jesus, Bernie Mac, Isaac Hayes and now this. You will be missed, but good on you for adventuring.

  26. Nat King Coleslaw at 9:55 am on 8/15/08

    Ach Jaysus bastard Jazzy!

    You could at least have stuck up a “Jazz Biscuit will be back soon” post beside a 200k+ hitcount which stays like that for three months before abruptly switching to a herbal dong enhancer search engine.

    Best of luck then. No idea why you’re leaving Ireland, and in August too.

    Come Ireland, is good.
    You want sun! We haff sun. In August.
    You want rain! We haff rain. In August.
    You want sun and rain! Is no problem. We haff both. In August. In Ireland.

  27. Donncha O Caoimh at 9:59 am on 8/15/08

    Sorry to see you go, but enjoy the adventures and you’ll be back, I hope!

  31. pissedoldhack at 12:05 pm on 8/15/08

    I’m gutted. This is most inconsiderate. Where am I going to find my stories now.

  32. Rosie at 12:07 pm on 8/15/08

    i leave the internet alone for one day, and this happens.

  33. Paul McClean at 12:33 pm on 8/15/08

    Best of luck dude! Thanks for all the entertainment, will miss your blog.

  34. Shane H at 1:42 pm on 8/15/08

    Crikey. Big loss for us, but have a ball wherever you go. When yuo say you’re leaving Ireland for an adventure, I presume you don’t mean you’re taking the ferry to Wales…

  35. Vince at 1:52 pm on 8/15/08

    Monday mornings are going to be much more boring from now on :(
    Best of luck

  36. raptureponies at 2:13 pm on 8/15/08

    Don’t do it, But since it looks like you’ve already decided, i’ll have to look forward to visits.

  37. Darren at 2:34 pm on 8/15/08

    No way! You will be seriously missed. It’s a great site and you’ve a brilliant angle on things.

    But best of luck in your new endeavours!

  38. admin at 3:57 pm on 8/15/08

    Thanks everybody that’s kick ass. Would like to thank you all individually but planes to catch and all that. Few though:

    @Alexia: “an oasis of madness in a bland ocean of calm” - love it.
    @B’Dum: It’s an open ended adventure: it has no end date.
    @Mulley: “Online pop culture anarchist” lol.
    @Green Ink: I’m glad that at least someone played the theme tune. I play it every 10 minutes or so. Life is just better when it has such kick ass music behind it.
    @Nat: I want haff more fun.
    @Rosie: Curly or straight I’d say it’ll look deadly.
    @Travors: Best of luck with the gmg book et all.
    @Emordino: Did you just put me up there with jesus? He was almost as cool.
    Thanks a million everyone.
