With the help of &lt;A href="http://scottwater.com/blog/default.aspx"&gt;Scott's&lt;/A&gt; great blogging engine &lt;A href="http://scottwater.com/dottext"&gt;.Text&lt;/A&gt; and the guys at &lt;A href="http://www.securewebs.com/"&gt;SecureWebs&lt;/A&gt; I have a new &lt;A href="http://www.dotavery.com"&gt;website&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;A href="http://www.dotavery.com/Blog"&gt;blog&lt;/A&gt; up and running. All of my future posts will be found over there, and hopefully with &lt;A href="http://scottwater.com/blog/default.aspx"&gt;Scott's&lt;/A&gt; help I will figure out a way to import all my old posts from here. (otherwise they will still be available here) &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have been planning on moving out on my own for a long time, it does not have anything to do with the GotDotNet folks coming over here... I think they will only make this site that much better. The reason I am moving is because I have been wanting to blog about more personal things, but I have held back because I did not want to pollute the main feed. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I thought about keeping this blog here and cross posting .NET feeds, but the main feed is busy enough and it annoys me when I read something twice in my aggregator, so I won't subject anyone else to that pain. Thanks to &lt;A href="http://scottwater.com/blog/default.aspx"&gt;Scott W.&lt;/A&gt; for the awesome blogging engine and starting this community in the first place. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My new blog is at &lt;A href="http://www.dotavery.com/Blog"&gt;http://www.dotavery.com/blog&lt;/A&gt;, hope to see you there. &lt;/P&gt;

I remember alot of this stuff from Accounting in school, but I think the one thing that Eric says that is the most valuable piece of information is when he cautions anyone starting an ISV about listening to lawyers and accountants advice, and how their inexperience in dealing with software companies is something to consider when listening to their advice. I would be interested in hearing even more on this topic, I would like to hear what some of the common misconceptions are about software companies in the field of finance professionals. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
