[Larkware.Com](http://www.larkware.com/) is my friend on that task. I _FINALLY_ have some time to start doing all the things I've been wanting to do but was too tied up to do them. Some of those include: Resuming the TDD workshops(yes!), Getting the Israel Agile user group going, Getting some Israel Geek dinners going (Juval Lowey is going to be in Israel on December. I'll see if I can somehow get him to join one of these) and speaking at user groups again. That's that for the community side. On the work side its \*amazing\* how many requests for agile lectures and workshops I've gotten in the past too weeks (Many of Magen's customers are starting to "get" it, finally) and that means I have a busy couple of months on my hands. If your company wants training, mentoring or just an overview of Agile methodologies such as Extreme programming, or a short workshop on doing Test Driven Development, don't hesitate to send me an email to "**\[email removed\]****"** and we'll talk. **A webcast screwup** Before I detail my upcoming schedule, A little something to the MSFT powers that be: A few weeks ago some of you may have gotten an email with the upcoming webcast list. It had some serious screw ups, unfortunately: - The first two lectures have the same title more or less, but the second one should actually be "production time debugging" - There are no links in the ad's pictures of each lecture - If you click on the link to go to the [webcasts site](http://www.microsoft.com/israel/events/webcasts/developers.mspx) – there is no mention of these webcasts Bad, bad MS! **Upcoming schedule:** -  17.11.04              - **User Group Talk, [IVCUG](http://www.comconix.com/ivcug/)**: Attributes, Reflection and an intro to Interception in .Net  -  23.11.04, 16:00   - **Webcast**: [Test Driven Development with NUnit and .Net](http://www.microsoft.com/israel/events/webcasts/developers.mspx) -  25.11.04              - [**.Net Deep Dive**](http://www.microsoft.com/israel/events/default.aspx?pageType=1&idType=1&id=15089)**(2 talks):** - Top Tools Every .Net Developer should Know - Test Driven Development with .Net  ## More in Off Topic [All posts in Off Topic](https://osherove.com/blog/category/off-topic) - Nov 5, 2004 ### [\[OT\]Geeky political joke](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/11/5/otgeeky-political-joke.html) - Nov 5, 2004 ### [IVBUG Celebrates its Seventh Birthday](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/11/5/ivbug-celebrates-its-seventh-birthday.html) - Oct 19, 2004 ### [OK - back for an evening, leaving tomorrow for a week](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/10/19/ok-back-for-an-evening-leaving-tomorrow-for-a-week.html) - Oct 17, 2004 ### [See you in three weeks](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/10/17/see-you-in-three-weeks.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.
