Since then we have had a good time doing consulting, programming, and training in the world of Ada. From time to time we have branched out into other areas, but we have stayed close to our core business, that of helping to make Ada an attractive alternative for software developers world-wide. I recently terminated our web site. It was generating more spam than anything else. Existing clients who want still want my individual services know how to reach me by telephone. They also have my private email account, not published on any of the public sites. During the last five years, most of my time has been devoted to teaching software engineering topics at the Naval Postgraduate School, where I continue to promote Ada whenever I can. In two weeks, I will start the Ada module of a comparative programming class I teach twice a year. I am now on the threshold of my eighth decade. The days of being away from home for up to two weeks out of every month, which is what my Ada consulting required, is not fun anymore. I still enjoy busiess-related traveling, but need to cut back -- a lot. I have closed the AdaWorks web site. The name, AdaWorks, will persist for a while in other contexts. I will continue to visit and contribute to this forum. I plan to update Ada Distilled to the 2005 standard sometime next Spring. My email address, richard@adaworks.com will no longer work after today. For those of you who know me, there is no cause for worry. I am still in robust health, continue to practice Judo two or three evenings a week, love my teaching duties at NPS, and hope to see some of you from time to time at various conferences and other meetings. I am still an active member of GAP for NPS. Richard Riehle
