Personal Web Nostalgy —
My fiance happened to googlestubmle upon this site:
http://my.ort.org.il/rehovot/thing/
It’s the first “official” web site I created back in high school, using FrontPage (!).
I find it rather ironic that the “It will be ready in a week.” status is still there :)

New Blog Layout —
Finally got my custom template up and running.. Went from this :

There are a lot of good resources out there about how to customize your blog.

Getting Started with Test Driven Development —
I’ve been to wanting to learn and use Test Driven Development for quite some time now.
I’ve read tons of blogs, even a really nice free ebook (see here).
Unlike other new (to me) frameworks and technologies that I’ve been interested in before, I find starting to use and implementing TDD extremely hard.
It just didn’t feel right.
At first I thought, well, this might simply not be my cup of tea, but then it got me thinking, why would that be so?
First post —
Ok, here goes the first post..
My name is Erik, and I’ll be blogging about … well I don’t know yet.
I guess most of my posts will be about programming, and my attempts to becoming a better programmer..
One of the thing’s I enjoy the most is learning new things that I find helpful.
Through this blog I hope to be able to share such useful information with you…
