yay, done.
Aug. 4th, 2005 07:54 amSo my talk is done now. Hooray. Now I can relax and enjoy the conference. The nice thing about having your talk early on the first day is that it frees the rest of your conference.
Talk went well - small enough room that I didn't need to use a mike, which was wonderful, as OSCON only had wired mikes in most rooms. Given the way I bounce and wander around the room, a wired mike would have resulted in either me ripping something out of the desk, or throttling myself. Room was kinda full, so if you turned up late and had to stand, sorry about that. . .
Fortunately, a couple of the keynote speakers were a bit dull this morning - I had something like 280 slides for a 40 minute talk. I know from experience that about 6 per minute is achievable, but any more than that causes Anthony to explode. The keynotes were dull enough that I had time to brutally hack into the slides and get it down to 240.
More later, including a snarky discussion of Paul "and a pony!" Graham's Tuesday Night Extravaganza talk, and a brief note of why Damien Conway needs to suffer for bringing back unpleasant unpleasant memories of Postscript.
