So, 2003 is about to be history. Quite an eventful year for me I'd say. I quit Lecando (great company though, if you get the chance to work there, do it!) and started on ThoughtWorks and moved from Stockholm to London.

Nanning is almost ready for a 1.0 release. I started working with PicoContainer with Paul and Aslak. That and DamageControl (still kind of a secret project) is taking most of my open-source time at the moment.

I also learned Ruby which is really an amazing language! If you get the chance, do learn it. I suspect it will get a lot more attention in the year to come. It's like the bastard child of Perl and Smalltalk (with a pinch of Common Lisp on the side)! Lovely! Hopefully Groovy will take off too, so Java development becomes endurable in a post-Ruby state-of-mind. Strong typing!? Pfft, it's for wimps!

The move to London and all the new experiences that comes from living in probably the most happening open-source cities of the world has completely exhausted my inspiration for blogging. Hopefully that will change in the next year. (I've actually got a couple of entries that never got through enough touch-ups to be in a publish-ready state.)

Anyways, happy new year!

And with those words let's give a thought to the people in Iran. What can you say? Terrible, terrible.
