“Thank You For The Music”
At the tenth anniversary party, Rickard makes up his mind. In his blog he says thanks: 75+ employees in Varberg, Stockholm, London and Copenhagen.
It was at the 10th anniversary party. By then I had worked round the clock on it for 10 years and was pretty fed up … It's been bloody brilliant fun!
- The blog post on 2006-09-17: “75+ employees in Varberg, Stockholm, London and Copenhagen”.
- The same day he wrote about the IRC server on Strandgatan “exactly 10 years ago”.
- The prologue: leaving was “relief. Pure, lovely, almost physical relief.”
- The podcast in 2016: “on the 10th anniversary I felt that now I'll make an exit … and at the same time I got a good offer too”. Several “talented Lunar people” left within six months.
- P4 Östergötland, Swedish public radio's local station in Östergötland, 2016: “at the tenth anniversary I quit and sold. I felt it was enough.”
