For some back story:
I wrote the publishing system that powers Ars Technica, with the intention of selling it to other sites. Ars sold to Conde Nast and threw my life into a turmoil. The resulting self evaluation led to this post, and I thought some of you crazy h4x0rs might find it interesting.
- xlnt 18y agoI don't understand how Ars selling to Conde Nast would change whether you have the rights to the publishing system.
- mrkurt 18y agoIt doesn't, I still have all the rights. The problem I've run into is I spent so long doing tangential things (lots of them Ars related) that I never actually whipped it into sellable shape.
- Spyckie 18y agoDefinitely interesting. Thanks for posting. I hope you can feel some good about the overall experience with Ars, and good luck with your next ventures.
- cpr 18y agoSo you're not part of Ars itself but a consultant to them?
- mrkurt 18y agoYep.
