With the start of October I’ll be working at Google. It has been a long process over last couple of months and I have been looking forward to starting since the first email.
Google has hired a lot of really bright people lately and getting a chance to work with some of them is very inspiring.
I really want to thank Aaron and Alex. Without your support I’m not sure the choice would have been this easy.
I have one more week here in Sweden and I’ll be working at my current job throughout the entire week. There are just too many things to do at MB Technonlogies and with the move and everything else going on there will not be much time for real work. I really hope they’ll do fine and I’ll do anything in my power to make sure the guys will survive without me.

Wow. Congrats Erik
What will you be working with BTW?
Congratulations Erik! You already told me of course but now I get to congratulate you publicly. Don’t forget to use your “20%” time helping me on the Web Forms 2.0 project.
David: I cannot tell you what I’ll be working with.
Dean: I have another idea for my 20% but we’ll see…
Wow, great news…
I’m sure google will put your skill’s to great use.
Awesome! And congrats Erik
I can’t believe that so many of the people I have learned from are going to be in one place together. Add the 20% private time to the equation, then I must say I’m looking forward to some sweet new stuff gentlemen 
恭喜你(Congratulations),Erik.
oh wow…. congradulations erik!!!!
you sly dawg, not even a peep about it until now… hahaha
understandable, of course, but that’s just great!
Thanks. It has been hard keeping my mouth shut.
Congratulations! Will be interesting to see how your “20% project” turns out.

Good luck on your new job. Hopefully, you’ll keep this blog a live and share some secrets (tihi).
Sweeeeet, Erik!
Congrats! With you on board, I’m looking forward to seeing what comes out of Google.
It’s a big treat, and you deserved it. I hope Google stays cool and lets you chill. They’ve gotten one of the best in the field.

Congratulations Erik!!!
Congrats Erik – Thats great news.
Congrats Erik!
Holy moly kickarse.
I’m a bit late, but the intention is the best.
I’m really proud to see a good friend being recognized. This makes anyone happy, specially if this friend has been working hard for years. I remember 2003 when after some real good time Erik wasn’t online and when he cames in November asked me to take a look at a simple XML, result of over an year of job.
Also, I can remember (this year) when he was in doubt to travel to USA to have an interview or not. Even he doesn’t telling anything, I thought that a real good thing will happen to such an old online friend.
Now that everything is public, all I can tell you is to follow your mind and put all your effort in your job. You’re a great man and I wish everything good to you. Maybe some day I’ll have the pleasure to meet everyone that I talk on ICQ/MSN, and you’re one of the top in my list.
I have nothing more to say than congratulations, man! =)
Cheers,
Wow, congrats!
Honestly i learned a good part of my DHTML skills from stuff you did – which is somewhat essential for the job i am doing today. It’s really time to THANK YOU!
Good luck and keep on doing things “never thought possible”
Hey! congrats, you’re my idol now ^^ XD
Bindows will have news nereleases??

They don’t deserve you
Congratulations Erik! One of my ‘dreams’ is to work at Google. Now you can tell me whether it’s really what it’s hyped up to be and put in a good word for me!
But honestly mate, you deserve the best, and you may have finally got it. I’m sure you’ll keep making me and the rest of your friends very proud!

The fancy title is “Software Engineer”
