Laura has put a gun to my head.
I have to decide on a topic for my talk at Skycon and I’ve got about 24 hours to do it.
For once I won’t be the only representative from Blacknight presenting!! Paul, in a possible moment of madness, also agreed to give a talk.
As he’s a hardcore geek he’ll probably be right at home, whereas I’m a little more wary.
What should I give a talk on??
Bearing in mind that it’s quite a technical conference, judging by the timetable, what would people recommend?
I was contemplating doing something on email filtering. (The last talk I gave in UL was on SEO)
Any thoughts?

I would hardly say gun to the head π

Women never do π

There seems to be a certain tone that women can strike in their voice (I call it the ‘teacher tone’) that will force a man into doing pretty much what you want. We use it sparingly, but when we do it’s very effective!

That maybe so, however I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time being bossed around by women π

elly parker says
Don’t feel whipped – you get bossed around so much because you can actually get things done for us. The more useful a man is, the more we’ll use him! (in a nice way!) π

You should talk about whatever you are passionate about. Given our office is within spitting distance we will come down and say hello. Or something to that effect.

I’m passionate about a lot of different things …
It looks like I’ll be on campus for a couple of days…
