We'll certainly keep in touch. I worked on some really cool internal (and therefore not shareable) projects in Java, Jython, and Web languages and platforms. They were generally fun, diverse and challenging.

On to Return Path!

]]> I had a great 2-and-a-half year journey with Sun, but my time there is sadly at an end. I was very fortunate to have worked with some very, very smart people. We’ll certainly keep in touch.

Copy it, modify it, tell everyone you wrote it, whatever. Enjoy!

New Design Afloat

I have wanted to create a unique design for this blog for a few months now, so you may have noticed a change if you dropped by eriwen.com since my last post. It needs a few more tweaks but the major bits are there. I want to thank friends David Walsh and CSS-Tricks author Chris Coyier for their help nailing stuff down. Their sites have helped me along the way as well so you might give them a look if you haven't. I hope you like it! Please give me your feedback especially if something could be easier for you. Feel free to comment about the direction this blog is and should be going. Thanks. Continue reading → Related posts:

It really is quite brilliant so you should check it out! Also, I have been busy adding a few new features here which you probably noticed. I thought I might give a quick overview of new stuff you'll find around here that might be useful to you:
  • New contact form
  • You can now register and login with your OpenID
  • Security upgraded for login and spam blocking
  • Upgraded search, of course
  • A bunch of little stuff that you might notice...
Anyway I hope you like the changes and feel free to contact me at emwendelin [at) gmail (dot] com if you have a question about it or want to ask how I did a certain component :) Happy belated pi day! Continue reading → Related posts:
