Since I am basically insane, I was convinced to do my first lightning talk: * In spanish in front of a purely brazilian audience * Creating it while having breakfast 1 hour before the event * After exceeding the allotted 50! minutes 2 days ago So, in short, I was terrified. I got there, sat at the back, start listening. I was 4th in order. 1: doctests (nice) 2: pronounceable passwords (nice) 3: MVC in gtk... I didn't understand a word, and ran out of time. So, I am now thinking nobody will understand me at all, so I will slow down, run out of time, and will then give the worst lightning talk ever. I'm next up. My topic: how to build a spreadsheet in 5 minutes. Amazingly, it worked rather well, the "MC" asked me for a copy of the code, and said it was a neat example. Noone looked horrified or ROFLing, so I am at least somewhat happy about it. Here is the code for you, too: ssin5min.tgz_ .. _ssin5min.tgz: //ralsina.me/static/ssin5min.tgz I would do it again. But if I am doing it again here, I am learning portuguese first.
