Some updates and promises for posts-to-come

Been away for a while - funny thing of broken habbits: our wireless router broke down, and I didn't manage to fix it (or get myself to get a new one), so I stopped connecting to the internet with my laptop when I am home. Immediate result: lost my home-internet habbits. Call it vacation. (BTW, I write this post from the kids PC).

Things that I need to update about in posts-to-come:

1. ISTQB self study group: certification exam is next week (July 10th). I feel ready, and got things to say about the ISTQB sylabus.
2. Ruby: had some progress (thanks for the reference to Aptana studio Rich!), need to share something I don't get in Ruby, as well as rcov - a nice (too?) simple code coverage tool.
3. SIGIST conference: been to the Israeli Special Interest Group In Software Testing (SIGIST) conference. I gave a presentation about how to extract test cases from UML.
4. Mind maps: I am hooked up on mind maps, using them as my new external brain and memory. Is this a passing thing?
