I finally have some good news to show for all the crap I've been through: In about a week I'll be taking off from Israel and landing in [this beautiful place](http://www.florbu.com/engelsk/galleri.html) in Norway where I'll be doing a 1-2 months consulting gig on a .Net project. If anything, I'm pretty excited (and I haven't been sleeping much either) and thrilled to do this (and yes, a little afraid as well since it's my first real gig as a consultant). If all goes well I might even get to stay a while longer, but that's too far in the future to see right now. My wife will be coming to visit me there about two weeks after I leave home. We'll spend there about a week together at which time she'll go back home and I'll be Wifeless up until the end of January. Oh, I can just taste the adventure now. BTW, they are still looking for good experienced people to get over there for short/long term. If you're interested, contact Michael and tell him I sent you. And to finish this off - here's are some thumbnails from over there: ![Against Furuholmen and Florø Rorbu](https://osherove.com/img/wb/e4a05361_www.florbu.com_grx_furuholmen_flyfotol_small.jpg) ![The island Batalden, west of Florø](https://osherove.com/img/wb/bfeb51d4_www.florbu.com_grx_motvest1_large_small.jpg) ![view from the balcony](https://osherove.com/img/wb/a0daa4a6_www.florbu.com_grx_utsikt7_small_small.jpg)  (The one with the man at the table is taken where I'll probably be staying. Isn't that just totally crazy?) ## More in Off Topic [All posts in Off Topic](https://osherove.com/blog/category/off-topic) - Nov 25, 2003 ### [GDN Release download stats](https://osherove.com/blog/2003/11/25/gdn-release-download-stats.html) - Nov 25, 2003 ### [Nevertheless](https://osherove.com/blog/2003/11/25/nevertheless.html) - Nov 21, 2003 ### [The Letter I should have written back](https://osherove.com/blog/2003/11/21/the-letter-i-should-have-written-back.html) - Nov 21, 2003 ### [The Regulator gets its first "real" review](https://osherove.com/blog/2003/11/21/the-regulator-gets-its-first-quotrealquot-review.html) --- ## About the author **Roy Osherove**: Senior Solutions Architect at AWS working on AI for production and AI-driven development; author of The Art of Unit Testing and Elastic Leadership, with about 20 years of consulting and training on unit testing, TDD, team leadership and continuous delivery. ### Sites - [RobotPaper](https://robotpaper.ai/): This blog: AI patterns and anti-patterns, AI and coding agents, and engineering leadership. - [osherove.com](https://osherove.com): Roy's personal site.
