in geneva
I’m still in Geneva. Having a very jolly time.
Right now I’m at Hamish’s house with Sigurd. As I write this, Sig is across the room, demonstrating Thingamy to Hamish.
Pictures of LIFT can be found on Flickr here, and hear what people are saying about it via Technorati here,
The video footage for LIFT is already up. So you can watch my presentation if you feel like it.
Kudos to Laurent for putting on a really good show.
Meanwhile, there’s only one gapingvoid t-shirt design left [the CFA one above]. Once they’re gone, they’re gone etc. You can order it here.
None of the video links work — at least not from a Mac…
Dennis,
Works for me with MAC OS 10.3.9 and FireFox 1.04. But didn’t work on my “older” versions of OSX.
Pretty good delivery of the presentations for the web (though sometimes slides are out of sync and too much buffering…). Very good that LIFT put this up so fast. Good stuff there.
Cheers!

Same problem here in Safari and in Firefox on OSX 10.4.4. None of the vids work.
Hugh, just finished watching the video footage. Can I suggest you do a better job preparing for future speaking engagements. Whilst your content was god, the presentation flow and audience pariticipation techniques (“hands up…”) were just horrible. Not pleasant feedback, but the most helpful feedback rarely is.
Thingamy
Hugh points toward Sigurd at Thingamy (probably because he’s hanging out with those guys). Interesting concept, based on simple building blocks (like Lego apparently) which appears at first glance to be an excellent example of starting as simple…
