Hi, I did a couple presentations the last few months on IronRuby or Silverlight + Rails. One was at Devoxx 2008, which I gravely underestimated, where I actually use a lot of content from Jimmy''s presentation and I fail horribly. I didn''t watch that video because I just know it is really really bad. That presentation was joint with somebody from Microsoft but I couldn''t yet find it on the parleys.com site where it is supposed to be published. Then I did one at an Italian Alt.NET gathering. I tried to watch it last night and had to stop because it is more scary than a horror movie. At least now I know I suck at presenting I can learn and do it better next time. I should have done that a long time ago :). I knew I had an accent when speaking english I just didn''t know it was that bad either. http://vimeo.com/3059773 Cheers Ivan Disclaimer: don''t watch right after eating food or right before going to bed. I am not responsible for any damage or harm inflicted by the video ;) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Perhaps next event! - Charlie
I hope so.. but after my performance I think I will have to do some serious ass kissing before MS will invite me again.

It gets easier :) Dig up videos of my RubyConf 2005 talk or Tom and my JavaOne 2006 talks. Dismal.

I''d *love* to have video of your session. http://brainspl.at/articles/2005/12/01/rubyconf-files-resurrected RubyConf 2005 had a huge impact on me and I''d love to relive it.

Your English accent is fine. If you work on your ''r'' no one will even know what country you are from. No native English speaker would have any difficulty understanding you.

I''d like to have a video of that talk, since it was technically my first ever. I was super nervous; practiced it twice the night before. Too bad that there might not be any videos of it...lost to the ages I guess.> RubyConf 2005 had a huge impact on me and I''d love to relive it.

Ahh memories...Small world :) Litestep was probably the last C/C++ work I did in earnest, and although we were able to *really* clean the codebase up, the whole desktop-skinning thing faded away shortly after that. Maybe in another ten years I''ll be doing some other big OSS project. I''d like to think I''ll be done with JRuby at some point... - Charlie
