Richard Jones' Log: PyCon update: talk done!

Well, the pyglet talk's done. The pic above is a little panorama I took about 10 minutes before the presentation (a nice man turned off the incredibly bright spotlight down the other end of the room). The room filled up a lot more as we got closer to the start time with people sitting in the aisles.

The talk went really well, with only one Bruce problem -- I couldn't see the projection screen from the podium. I intend to code up a facility to show the contents of the projection screen on the second screen (ie. laptop) alongside the notes but I just didn't have time. This combined with a very cheap mouse that didn't always click when it was supposed to meant sometimes I was talking to the wrong slide content. Oh well. It was well-received.

Oh, and I couldn't show off the t-shirt I had specially printed and organised delivery to Phil Hassey so I'd have it for the presentation. I was wearing a pullover because it was so damned cold in the presentation room :(

And then there was the BoF afterwards during which I just answered more questions for about an hour.

pyglet's got a considerable buzz here :)

(I have another panorama on flickr that I took during Guido's plenary)

Update: I've uploaded the HTML presentation notes.

Hi -- just passing on pointers to Slithy. Here's the demo movie I mentioned, and a page with the source code and a few other example presentations.

pullover? PULLOVER? ARRGGHHH!
3 days people, that's all it took for him to assimilate completely.

Must have been an interesting presentation. This and other cool presentations reported on the Web makes me sad that I could not be at PyCon.

Just one thing - slides uploaded to http://us.pycon.org/2008/conference/schedule/event/56/ seem to be missing all the images. Could you point me to a version of slides with images?

P.S. That's a great panoramic photo! :)
