Rebecca and I are moving to Ankara, Turkey for 3 years. The movers arrived this morning to pack all our belonging in advance of our departure. I knew this was coming but it feels real now.&Our bags are ready and movers have been packing boxes for shipping all day long. The office is ready to go, the documents are sorted, and I have a big announcement coming this week with the new company. The new office in Ankara got Internet access yesterday and almost everything is ready for our arrival on August 11th. All of our stuff will arrive in Baltimore, MD tomorrow where it will be packed into a container headed for Istanbul by ship. The car goes later this week heading for Turkey.
I am going to miss DC allot, I had a great time here and made some lifelong friends. Darron, Chafic, D.Wolf, and C.Cantrell special thanks for all the Flash/Flex lunches, I will especially miss the technical talks. Those lunches/dinners were far better than any conference I have attended. I learned allot, thanks guys!
So the new business and products are shaping up nicely and initial reviews are looking very favorable. I cannot wait to show you what the team has been working on for the past 6 months. Having the opportunity to work with a team of this quality alone has been an honor. In 3 days time, you will know what I am talking about. There is nothing like a great example! :)
More to come.
Ted ;)

Good luck! My wife and I just visited Turkey about a month ago. Turkey is awesome. The people are very friendly, the cities are beautiful. I wish we had spent more time in Istanbul. Where is Ankara?
If you need any help in Turkey just let me know. :)
Oguz Demirkapi
CFUG Turkey Manager :)
You can contact with me via oguz@cftr.net.
Nice to hear you that you will be in Ankara. :)
HI , I've never seen turkey , but I think that would be as beautiful as our countary Iran , the neighbor of turkey (even more beautiful ;) ).
I'd be glad to meet you in iran if you want to go on a vacation ;)
wish you nice moments there .
regards
MajiD
Oguz,
I will be in touch via email. Nice to see a strong usergroup in Turkey. If you need someone to speak on Flex, let me know. My Turkish is poor, but my MXML/ActionScript are good.
Cok Tesekkurler,
Ted ;)
MajiD,
Thanks for your kind words. We are looking forward to travelling in the region and seeing many countries. I am especially interested in diving the Red Sea from Sharm El Sheikh, Quoseir, and Marsa Alam.
Regards,
ted ;)
Man, Turkey is a totally awesome place as I'm sure you know, great move! Wish you the best there, looking forward to seeing the new stuff : ).

Ted - I'm going to miss our dinners as much as you, but I'm sure we'll keep in touch. Turkey is going to be an amazing experience for you, and I'm sure you'll love it there.
Are you still planning on attending conferences? If so, at least we can still get together a few times a year.
Maybe next summer Jen and I can sneak out to Turkey for a visit. Fingers crossed...
Don't forget the Orioles game. :-)
Please write a contact mail direct to me. We have lots of plans for future user group events. (A big one in September) I am sure Flex will be the most interesting one. :)
I am also a CF/JRun/Flex developer and we would find lots of share point.
And a note; I have a blog at page http://demirkapi.net (unfortunatelly) which is only in Turkish now.
I look forward to meet you personally.
Robin,
Thanks! Turkey is a great place and I am planning to expand the business there over the next few years. Plus working offshore sure has its perks.
Cheers,
ted ;)
Darron,
"Singleton is the new _global" :)
I think I will be attending every Flash/Flex conference over the next 3 years. The new venture will have me travelling to most of them and sponsoring a few.
Orioles game is a go. You guys better come visit us in Turkey, it would be a blast.
Cheers,
ted ;)
hey! it's great to see a flash-coder coming over to turkey. i just browsed some pages late today, and came across yours with the heading of your movement. i'm located at istanbul, but am open to help ya on all sorts, as flash-coders are always welcome here... i'm a member of mmistanbul, istanbul macromedia user group... just mail me at obsesif@gmail.com when you have the time for; be glad to help. btw, what's the reason of moving to ankara? most mm-companies are located in istanbul anyway... -cem gencer
Isn't Burak in Turkey? I'm sure there's a good community up there for all things Flash. Have fun!
Burak is in Istanbul and we have been in touch. I look forward to meeting him and his team.
Ted :)
Good luck! What prompted the move? You were in the carribean before. Are you moving based on your own desire to move? Your spouse being relocated? Interested in what takes you to these places.
Rebecca's work finds the exotic local. We both enjoy travel and just keep on moving. 2 years in Jamaica and now 3 years in Ankara. Who knows where we will end up next. Plus I am portable so long as there is Internet access.
Ted ;)
Ted,
your article is quite nice. I translated it to spanish (thought it might be helpfull for latins to read what you posted, in their language), and I was wondering if there's a problem with you if I publish it in my blog, with credits to your original post of course.
The anti-impotency treatment you are going to adopt just after being identified with erectile dysfunction is not likely to yield any fruitful result if you do not abide by the precautionary instructions recommended by the physician. For instance, after procuring viagra online if you administer cheap viagra without providing the necessary details to the doctor with regard to your medical history then there are chances that viagra intake might prove disastrous to you. Most particularly, if you are taking nitrate based medicine such as nitroglycerin patches to treat a specific medical condition you should inform the doctor immediately so that he doesn’t suggest you to buy viagra. The usage of Viagra by any person using nitrate-based medicines can trigger off health disaster and as such you can definitely avoid the imminent harm by explaining your medical history to the doctor and avoiding to buy viagra online if the drug is not meant for you.
