I'm back

[Soma]

Sooo, I'm still alive and in August, I will start on a new job and project that probably brings me back to work with the cool and great Processwire. :D

7 years ago I was forced to change job and ended in a cool new place doing front-end dev not using PW anymore.

So unfortunately I didn't really use or follow PW in that time except once a year doing something tiny bits on the handful of websites I am responsible for.

I'm sorry if I just disappeared "over night" and maybe left some things behind I was doing for PW, and didn't spend time looking out for them.

The reason is, I also was very frustrated with a lot of things with the job and life at that time and 2019 was also when I started painting again digitally, as maybe some of you know. I went full hyper focus mode, everyday almost for 2-3 years in my spare time and since then slowed down. I was able to make a small career with it, and made a lot of new connections and experiences which was awesome. I will continue to work on making art and illustrations as I have a lot of new freedom with the new job too combine a lot of my skills. Finally I can work from home full time. A little dream come true.

Thanks for still being here and keeping this small but awesome community alive!

I have to catch up now! :D

Cheers
Soma

Hey soma. It’s wonderful to hear you’re back. I must be following you on instagram because I have seen your work regularly over the years.

they’re the biggest wins and often take longest to happen 

Looking forward to seeing you more around here 😀

So glad to have you back. Back when I joined the PW community in 2012, you were a constant help in the forum and with your modules.

@Soma Great to see you back! A couple weeks ago I was just thinking about you and how I wished you were still around here. I've been seeing your amazing paintings on Facebook and figured you had moved on to other things, but thought of sending you a message there, so what a nice surprise to see you here.

Welcome back @Soma 👽!

Hey, welcome back @Soma! Great to see you here (again).

So, I'm my self are away from PW since around 2022-08. I only followed a bit by reading some of Ryan's blog posts and @teppo's ProcessWire Weekly.
Well, maybe this summer I'll be able to work more with PW again and participate here in the forum. 💬

This start to look like "The Expendables". The superheroes are back 😎

@Soma a massive welcome back. I followed you on Twitter and absolutely loved your art journey but then it just seemed to disappear. As I hate social media I am not really on anything else, and certainly don't use X anymore. I always wondered what happened to a forum legend. As somebody mentioned earlier, you probably don't realise how much your posts have and still do help people.
