Sherri and I presented today at Internet Librarian, and while the content was delivered well, the flash that we had hoped would do nothing but enhance the presentation actually let us down. We were both on iBooks, and were going to use Keynote (Mac version of PPT) for a few screenshots, and it was going to look goooood. We tested it the night before and it worked well; the iBook displayed to the projector with no problem. Overnight though Murphy played a visit and we kept getting an error on Sherri’s machine that it didn’t have enough VRAM to push to the LCD projector. The only variable was that we had changed the template. Sigh. So we started a few minutes late and were therefore were rushed a bit, and were both thrown by the complete surprise of having had a Mac let us down! 🙁
As I said though, we got through most of the content, and folks seemed engaged. I’ll see if we can get the Keynote presentation out as a PDF or something but here’s a list of the tools we discussed. (don’t go changing it now, y’all!)
Feel free, as always, to ask questions if you have any 🙂

So, I was checking the various conference bloggers to see who’d done writeups of my talk when I saw your heading. My immediate thought was that you’d been disappointed in me, and I was so sad. 🙁
Then I realized you were talking about the software. 😀
Whoops, sorry about that Liz, guess I got you to read it though! 😉 I would change the title, but TypePad builds URLs based on the post title, so I’m worried it’d screw things up – I predict this post will now draw many views as people come to your defense 🙂 For the record, I thought your keynote was great!
