Two Weeks Left to TSS
Ahh - crap. Less than two weeks left until the Server Side Symposium, and only 48 hours until I'm supposed to have my presentations done.
Being a conscientious guy I started ages ago right? Wrong. Going to be a madcap weekend of PowerPoint for me. Fun fun.
Q: if you're listeneing to a presentation with code samples in it - do you prefer them to be in an IDE or in the presentation itself?
Comments
What? Not using FoilTeX?
Put examples in the presentation itself. Self-contained is good.
Dump that presentation to PDF too.
In the presentation, but also available in an IDE for a quick alt-tab live run.
If it's short enought, then definitely in the slides, in a form that can be cut and paste. This makes the published on the conference proceedings website/CD much more useful.
yes put the code in the presentation and dump to pdf as well :)
no no no! do the presentation in powerpoint, convert it into HTML then use SiteMesh to place it together with the source code.
Just joking
Anyway yeah I prefer the code snippets to be in the PowerPoint slides.

Investments
Advising startups is something I've started doing in the last year. It's a fascinating way to use one's brain and experience to solve other people's problems.
I'm loving it.
Besides the few I advise, I've invested in one, HomeThinking.
HomeThinking provides realtor reviews, ratings and metrics (qualitative and quantitive) for home sellers.
I also make a lot of small microfinance loans to entrepreneurs around the world through Kiva. Read more about my on going Kiva Challenge (update).
