@[email protected] one conference asked me to provide slides a month in advance so they could put them on a USB stick for attendees, as if having slides done a month in advance was the kind of thing that happened to normal, sane, human beings. Fortunately my talk was mostly live coding so I had an excuse.
@[email protected] as an experienced conference talk giver, I'm assuming the same as every other train journey to a conference: break your perfectly good slides/code/examples by thinking of something even better and trying to implement it with 1 hour and 15% battery
@mavnn I'm going to pretend I've never done that but I know nobody will believe me

@mavnn that sort of thing would make me think the conference didn't have any idea how conference speakers work.
Sometimes people have asked for my slides even after I've live coded the whole thing.
@edwinb Bask in the glory of your preparedness
@edwinb toot. and look out the window making notes https://hci.social/@chrisamaphone/114647740268652121
@chrisamaphone I kind of want to set those notes to a tune with a weird synth based backing. Distant sounding lo-fi vocals with too much reverb.
@edwinb i would listen to this
@edwinb let me know if you'd like a recording of me saying any of these phrases. i may need a pronunciation guide in some cases
@chrisamaphone @edwinb Haven't the 80s taught us synth + random text is even better if the text has an unexpected foreign accent?
@mevenlennonbertrand @chrisamaphone it's possible that it's better for everyone if this concept remains in my head
