Category LS 2011 GEEK101 SpeedGeeking

Last Tuesday at Lotusphere 2011 I had the honor of presenting during GEEK 101 - SpeedGeeking.

For those of you unfamiliar with SpeedGeeking it is essentially 65 minutes of drink from the firehose content combined with beer & wine.

We close off one end of the Pacific Dining Hall and fill it with 13 tables and an open bar.
Each table has one "Geek" who gets a 5 minute window to present their topic.
An air horn is blown between rounds by a timekeeper (this year performed by Mac Guidera), at which point the crowds move to the next table, and the presentation begins anew.
As a presenter, you get perhaps 30 seconds between each presentation to "reset".

The closest single word adjective I can come up with is "Invigorating".

Home Alone - Tips for the Remote Worker

My topic was likely the least technical of all, and truth be told had essentially zero geek content. No Xpages, No LotusScript, No @Formula, No cool code whatsoever. It is my hope however that the tips I presented held at least some value for those attending.
Hope you enjoy the slides* for my presentation.

*Special Shout Out to Chris Toohey, who took my crazy-ass notes and produced a most excellent slide deck for me when I ran out of time.

Wowsers! A Tag Cloud!

1 - Good presentation my friend. Says he, sitting here at 8:30pm, having worked until 1:30am, 2:30am and 1:45am the previous three nights, and got up at 7 each day to start again ... hmm, maybe I should re-read those slides?!
