Movin' On

After almost 5 years, today was my last day with Premiere Global Services. I’ve been working there since 2005 when it was Netspoke, and during that time have had the privilege of working with some really great people. My experiences there have had a  huge impact on how I approach my work, and as a result have grown considerably as a software developer these past few years.

So what’s next?

Starting Monday I’ll be joining Matrix Solutions as a Senior Software Engineer. It’s a much smaller company, where I’ll have a better chance of making a difference. I’m also looking forward to being a part of a co-located team again after 4 years of working remotely.

Overall, I’m excited for the change.

ReSharper for Visual Studio 2010 preview now available

JetBrains has a preview release of ReSharper for Visual Studio 2010 available now for download.

From the site:

"ReSharper for Visual Studio 2010 (preview) - is an early build for those who are trying out Visual Studio 2010 and cannot live without ReSharper. It is neither 4.5.1 for VS10, nor 5.0 for VS10. It is intermediate result of our attempts to integrate with Visual Studio 2010 extensibility model, plus preliminary state of some of ReSharper v5 features (you will find some of them enabled). Complete roadmap for ReSharper v5 will be published soon."

Hey - it might be a preview but it is better than nothing!
