Welcome to my site. I'm glad that you wanted to know a little bit more about me. Check out my Resume which is old and busted. Mainly because I'm not looking for a job, because I probably have the best one ever.
I'm currently employed by The World Company in Lawrence, Kansas doing some web development on their software called Ellington. Using the Django Web Framework
I moved here from Virginia, after attending college at the University of Mary Washington, getting a degree in Computer Science. I love Alma mater, and would like to become a professor there or somewhere some day.
Surfing is a hobby of mine, and I've ended up in the middle of the USA in Kansas. Thus the name of the blog. It's slightly ironic, but also about how I am trying to keep the beach mindset going in the prairie.
I've recently been getting into software testing at my job, and spending my time thinking about it. I don't know if it's what I want to do for a while, but it's been what I've been exploring as of late. Hopefully by the end of November, I will have developed tools that will allow me not to have to do any testing ever again. ;)
Cheers,
Welcome to the home of Eric Holscher on the web. I talk about software development, mostly in the realm of Django. I am interested in the real time web, testing, mobile apps, and other things.
