Third Year in a Row Yesterday I received the mail from Microsoft that congratulate me for being a Microsoft MVP for the third time. It’s is a honor for me to get the award three years in a row. This time the receiving of the mail was somewhat weird since I saw on Twitter that people got the mail and I didn’t get it… Apparently, my Gmail mail account (which is my personal mail account) “thought” that the congratulation mail is spam and moved it into the spam directory. This of course shows the true...

In my last post (which was way too long ago), I've wrote what is my ideal workplace. After a while I found it! After a series of interviews I was hired by Sears Israel as a software developer for Sears Social . Sears Social is a new social experience which creates a new shopping experience using your social connections. After only a couple of months, I have to tell you – I made the right choice. This place is amazing! Great professional people, Agile practices and great atmosphere. It was pretty...

Me and the blog, we're celebrating 4 years together. It's been quite a hectic year for me personally, but the blog was there all along. It was being it's old supportive, giving and stable self all along. And I love it for it. Still, I thought this would make for a good chance for us to get to know you! I remember seeing (and loving) this post from Adam Machanic and thinking - he hit the nail straight on the head. Whether you're new here, just popped by for a visit or have been a long...

Agile environment, a team and management which believes in the agile process A place where I can have fun doing what I love...

My proposed sessions didn’t make it to the final twelve but this was a competition and the best sessions won.

Teched Israel 2010 – Day One Yesterday’s morning I had a flight to Eilat to my first Teched Israel. I arrived after noon so I missed Jason Zander’s keynotes … I wanted to attend this session but my flight schedule was at noon. I thought I’ll make it but the flight got a delay (and oops you miss the show)… After I’ve checked-in in my hotel and checked-in in the presenters check-in place, I had a free afternoon so I jumped to the royal suite in the Royal Beach hotel. If you are one of the lucky VIPs...
