And this is Enso presentation at PyCon UK 2008, written , and concerning Python, Conferences
Earlier on today I did a talk about Enso at PyCon UK 2008. You can grab the slides from my Enso talk. I'm not sure how useful they'll be without audio (and I don't believe that the talks were being recorded, which is a shame), but you can still see them.
We're starting to get somewhere with Enso now. A couple more problems to solve and then I think it'll be ready for people to play with, at which point I'm going to do some writeups and a screencast and whatnot. The original Humanized page for the commercial proprietary version of Enso explains how it works; people who have seen noise about Ubiquity, Enso is the same thing (originally from the same team) but it's better because it's a desktop app rather than being limited to the web. I love it, lots.
I personally am just happy because Mark Shuttleworth came up and shook my hand after the talk. I am such a shameless fanboy. Sorry.

The keynote from Shuttleworth was so disappointing. "Bla bla bla cloud/grid computing bla bla bla speed bla bla bla parallelism bla bla bla fix it or I'm gonna dump you real quick." I expected more. The veiled threats, in particular, were a bit tasteless.
Ted Leung, in comparison, was much more on the ball, with a bit more insight (there is a marketing problem for dynamic languages that no amount of speed and wonderful things will solve; we need better tools; etc) even on the same topics.

Alex: nope. The crew chap said: you probably don't need the mic, it's quite a small room.

Giacomo: I didn't see Mark's talk (I was only there on the Sunday).

Hey Aq,
I was the "Audio Guy" at PyConUK 2008 and majority of talks at the conference were being recorded. They may not have been recorded if the speaker forgot to wear a microphone, or I forgot to hit "record"
I was the one at the start of your talk trying to get a laptop recording the mixer output. But unfortunately couldn't get it to work. I feel very annoyed by this because it was a good talk, on an interesting program written in Python.
All I can say is, better luck next time.

Looked at the presentation. Its amazing how much is lost without the audio.
Its pretty close to useless, actually.
Reading it was a bit like watching a Danish art-house movie with subtitles. When I say subtitles, I mean like, Chinese or Arabic subtitles.
Sorry. Couldn't resist poking fun. I actually like doing presentations where the slides are just talking points to the vocal content. You've made me realise how meaningless many of my slideshows are without the accompanying notes.
As always, missing LugRadio.

Aq, thanks for speaking at PyCon UK. The talks were recorded. Were you asked to wear a radio mike? Alex
