Just over 18 months have passed since this blog launched, and this is the 100th post. Knowing that I spend anything from one to four hours (and sometimes even more) researching and writing up a single post, you can imagine how much time keeping an active blog demands; if you’re a blogger yourself, I’m sure you know.

That said, I couldn’t imagine not keeping a blog – I’ve always enjoyed writing and I’m investigative by nature. And of course, the rewards not only in terms of the learning value but also the recognition and feedback from visitors, subscribers, trackbacks, links etc play a part as well :)

A Developer Manifold

Its interesting to see how community-oriented us developers are becoming. We read blogs, write blogs, chat on Twitter (@fredrik_k), discuss on Stackoverflow and generally spend a lot of time interacting with each other. Some may see these things as a productivity killer - and from time to time it cannot be denied that I find myself using them as an excuse to procrastinate, but mostly I think these tools significantly boosts not only our knowledge but also our inspiration, effectively improving both the quality and the quantity of the work we do.

So, here’s to a hundred more posts! I’ve got some exiting stuff in the pipeline (well, I think so at least :p), so watch this space :)
