  • Nice title - shame about the format

    One hour video as the only format? Be a bit more realistic. Infoq video streaming is also still flaky through our firewall. What's wrong with good old slideware - especially as it's meant to be a classic 10 bullet point list.

    Tim, maybe the firewall needs some fixin's, cuz the video works fine for me and I watched it via my Sprint PCS wireless card while riding to work on the train this morning.

    Interesting talk. Thx.

    I'd really like a transcript of these things. I can read much, much faster than he can speak!

    Good job! But it would be really great, if you had an audio podcast with the talks.
