At May 12 2009 I'll be speaking at 7N's <em>IT Konference 2009</em> (in Danish, so
that's no spelling error). You can read the program <a href="http://www.7n.com/dk/Downloads/test2009.pdf">here</a>.
</p>
        <p>
The topic of my talk will be TDD patterns and terminology, so I'll discuss Fixtures,
Stubs, Mocks and the like. As always, <a href="http://xunitpatterns.com/">xUnit Test
Patterns</a> will form the basis of my vocabulary.
</p>
        <p>
Of the other speakers, I'm particularly looking forward to hear my good friend Martin
Gildenpfennig from <a href="http://community.ative.dk/blogs/">Ative</a> speak!

Today I spent my first working day at <a href="http://www.safewhere.net/">Safewhere</a>,
where I’ll be working as a Senior Software Engineer. In the last couple of years,
Safewhere and I have crossed paths a couple of times, and each time they always left
me with the impression of a very professional and congenial ISV, so I’m super-excited
to be joining!
</p>
        <p>
Expect the occasional Geneva or Federation-related blog post to intermingle with the
usual TDD stuff in the future :)

As readers of <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/ploeh/">my old MSDN blog</a> will know, <em>ploeh
blog</em> is moving to this new site.
</p>
        <p>
Responding to the current financial crisis, Microsoft is cutting costs and laying
off 1400 employees. During that process, the entire <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/dynamicsmobile/default.aspx">Microsoft
Dynamics Mobile Team</a> is being disbanded, which is very sad, since it was a very
nice place to work. The team spirit was great, and we were really committed to agile
development methodologies, but all good things must end...
</p>
        <p>
Currently, I can't even begin to guess what the future looks like for me, although
to regular readers of my blog I can state that I sincerely intend to keep writing
as I always have. If you subscribed to my old blog, then please subscribe here instead.
The blog is moving because the old blog belongs to Microsoft, and only employees can
post, so I'll soon be writing my last post on the old blog.
</p>
        <p>
Until now, it's always been Microsoft's policy to retain the old blogs, even when
the original authors leave the company, so while I will not be able to post to the
old blog, I expect the old posts to be around for a long time yet.
</p>
        <p>
Professionally, I don't know what I will do now. If I can find new employment in these
times, I may simply decide to take on new challenges with a new employer. However,
I'm also considering free-lancing for a while: Coding, mentoring, lecturing, writing...
</p>
        <p>
If you are in the position where you think you can use my services, whether for full-time
employment or just a few days, please let me know. Keep in mind that I'm based in
Copenhagen, Denmark, and while I can certainly travel after work, I cannot permanently
move due to family obligations.
