Flashkit

I spoke at the Flashkit confrence on friday which was fun. Again it's very hard to judge how well you go and the fact I was told that I could talk 3 days before I had to made my preperation very slim. I wish I could have stayed aorunf for the other talks but I was busy at work.

This was only the second time I had spoken in front of a large amount of people. There was around 80 people at this one, compared to 200 or so last year. It's very hard to get a response form the crowd. Maybe it's becuase i'm a hack or something or people are just shy? Or the fact my talk was holding up lunch break.

Either way speaking for 1 hr actually goes pretty fast. I guess I'm used to teaching 3 hr classes. I think it's alot easier to talk about soemthing you have a strong opinion on and you are not trying to teach people anything to indepth. If your talk remains simple and conversation like it's alot easier.
