Another good turn out this year for the Age UK Abbey Dash 10K in Leeds. Over 9000 runners this year, certainly seemed much busier than previous years.
Again Black Marble had staff members running. As with last year we did a wisdom of crowds based handicap race for the impressive Black Marble trophy (we all estimate each others expected times, the winner is who beats mean estimate the most). This year there was a tie to the second between Jon and Becky, who are as we speak negotiating over trophy sharing for the next year.
Congratulations to all who took part, I am sure plenty of good causes benefited from the efforts of everyone who ran
A video has just be uploaded that I did on the new unit testing features in Visual Studio and TFS 2012. This is quick 10 minute introduction to some of the material I will be covering at DDDNorth next weekend.
Hope you find it useful
if you missed yesterdays DDD10, as I did, then don’t worry. You can come to DDD North in Bradford at the University Management Centre on the 13th of October. There is another great set of speakers, I was lucky enough to get my session on Unit Testing and Fakes in VS2012 accepted. Hope to see you there
Also my company Black Marble as announced our free autumn and winter events, check them out on our events page. There is a good varied selection this year, something for everyone.
The registration has opened for DDDNorth 2 (In Bradford) where I will be speaking on Unit testing in VS2012
Also my Raspberry PI has just arrived – after only 6 months of waiting, but I don’t think I can work it into my DDDNorth session
