I hope I can talk Joey into letting me write somewhat regularly in the coming year, but for now, I\u2019ll settle for the one article.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m giving an MS internal talk on \u201cTester DNA\u201d on Tuesday the 11th (2:00pm, 40\/Steptoe for those who can come \u2013 I assume it will be broadcast on resnet too). I expect to piss a lot of people off with this one, so it should be a good time.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be giving a webinar on Test Design for STP on Thursday, January 20 at 10:00am PST (more info <a href=\"http:\/\/www.softwaretestpro.com\/Event\/1099\/Better-Test-Design-for-Everyone\">here<\/a>). I\u2019m still figuring out exactly what I\u2019m going to say for this one, but I promise it will be interesting.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday the 21st, I\u2019m flying to Munich for <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.sigs-datacom.de\/sd\/kongresse\/oop_2010\/index.php?lang=en&amp;cat=main_en\">OOP<\/a>. I\u2019m honored to have been invited to give two presentations at the conference, and I\u2019m looking forward to meeting some new people (and drinking German beer).<\/p>\n<p>And in between all of that stuff, I have my day job. We shipped a few months ago and are in the middle of planning and making some fairly large technical moves (e.g. changing our test automation and distribution systems). I\u2019m probably spread a bit too thin right now, but I\u2019m confident I\u2019ll end up prioritizing and giving each project I\u2019m involved with just the right amount of push (personal kanban FTW!).<\/p>\n<p>And finally \u2013 I am planning another webcast (using Lync) in February on career tips for testers. I\u2019ll post more details in a few weeks. Since I can\u2019t please the whole world, I\u2019ll go at whatever time \/ day is suggested more than once in the comments section.<\/p>\n<p>Happy new year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twenty-eleven is kicking off with a flurry of activity for me \u2013 I think by the time I breathe again, a month (or two!) will have flown by.
