See you there? By Roy Osherove May 3, 2004 In [Blogging](https://osherove.com/blog/category/blogging) **Historical article** · Originally published May 3, 2004; technical details may be outdated. Tomorrow morning I'm leaving for Tech-Ed Israel in Eilat. Will be there for 3 days. I hope I get the chance to blog from there, but if I don't you should know why - I don't own a laptop. Go figure. If you're looking for me, you can look for something that looks like this:  (click to see a bigger Roy) Yet. That's me, after a haircut. Just add beer :) I'll be wearing an official Magen, Microsoft Technology Center black T-Shirt throughout (we got 3), so look for those shirts. This year I've chosen to go in darks and pastels. Since logos seem to be **the** thing this season, I've chosen a white/green logo, something hi-tech. You'll notice the background tries to imitate a native Israeli home, along with wedding pictures hanging off the walls, and a real glass window. The dark window is symbolic for night time. The lack of smile says _I see you, but I don't recognize you since I have short term memory loss for people with which I go to conferences_.  If you see me, ping me by friendly tap on the shoulder, preferably holding an extra glass of beer, and say [Regulator](http://regulator.sourceforge.net/) Rocks! ;) I'll also be bringing my new digital camera, and will try to post Tech-Ed photos to my [photoblog](http://royo.textamerica.com/). BTW, I'm playing backup presenter in case some lecturer can't make it. I'm all ready with a lecture about regular expressions. We'll see what happens. If it happens, it will be my first Tech-Ed lecture. Ain't life interesting sometimes? ## More in Blogging [All posts in Blogging](https://osherove.com/blog/category/blogging) - May 8, 2004 ### [Blogger Dinner with Johanna Rothman this Sunday evening](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/5/8/blogger-dinner-with-johanna-rothman-this-sunday-evening.html) - May 7, 2004 ### [The benefits of employee blogs](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/5/7/the-benefits-of-employee-blogs.html) - May 3, 2004 ### [Another Israeli .Net blogger joins the bunch](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/5/3/another-israeli-net-blogger-joins-the-bunch.html) - Apr 29, 2004 ### [The blogsphere generosity wave - Viral Marketing](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/4/29/the-blogsphere-generosity-wave-viral-marketing.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.
