@Jeffro - Life has been good indeed. Since our days on WLTC, I became an Investment Banker in 2009 and have been doing that as my full time job. Unfortunately, I never succeeded monetising my sites or experience to live a comfortable life as a freelancer.

Time didn't permit AEC and Ronald took it over completely. I think it's pretty much out of major development and Ronald sold it off and took it back I think.

I've got my own WordPress plugins the main ones being Contextual Related Posts and Top 10. And, some of which I plan on stop developing.

I have been following WP Tavern forever, so am glad to know it's back up and running again :)
