After four amazing years at Last.fm in London I have decided it's time to move on.
I'm honored to have been a part of the company since it was just four guys in a dodgy Whitechapel office (and Russ working from uni) to where we are today, via vc funding and the sale of the company to CBS.
The greatest part of the job has been the people, clever guys and girls who are great at what they are doing (and nice too, bonus!). Keep an eye on them, I'm sure we'll see more interesting stuff created at the hands of Last.fm staff, past and present.
Thanks to the various dev team members who have encouraged me to work on open source projects such as Hadoop, it's been very educational.
I'm going spend the next few months travelling and then we'll see what happens, if anyone wants to get in touch, send me a tweet or a message.
A warning goes out to the Last.fm alumni around the world, keep your sofas at the ready, I might be knocking on your door any day now.

Well there Johan, exciting times ahead for you as well!
Whenever you find yourself wandering through Amsterdam, Utrecht or Berlin, be sure to ping me for a meetup- I'll make sure you can rest your weary head at a sofa nearby!

Give me a call if you need a couch in Berlin.
Thanks guys, I definitely want to go back to Berlin at some point and I have never been to Amsterdam, it's on my list too!
Welcome to the club Johan :) Look forward to hearing about it in the pub.
Wow! Have fun traveling, and good luck with whatever comes next!
All the best Mr. Oskarsson! See you out there!

We may have a position for you stateside on our analytics team if you're interested -- doing online advertising using a predictive analytics and behavioral targeting model. We have a sales office in London as well; while a telecommute may be possible if you don't wish to relocate, we already have a few Brits and Canucks here though so you'd feel at home.
The analytics team is doing a lot of interesting and powerful stuff. Hit me up at jwesterhaus@adknowledge.com if you want to find out more.
In the meantime, best of luck in your travels, and have fun!

Probably should mention that Hadoop is a big part of what we're doing . . . and the role specifically (if you find our careers page on the adknowledge website) is "Senior Software Engineer -- Analytics".
Take care,
