Not many blogs but a busy month

We were doing our review of the month the other day and realised that we hadn’t posted many entries this month. Now let me assure you it’s not because we have lost interest, it’s just we have been working hard on other things. So we will take a slap on the wrist for not posting as regular as we would have liked, but plead extenuating circumstances.

The phone rings, somebody has done you great honour of booking you to talk to their group. You discuss requirements, put the date into the diary and get on with other things. Now; sometimes these dates are away in the future and when you make the booking, it seems as if you have plenty of time to organise everything. Then one day you are looking at the diary and you notice that what seemed like a long time way in the future, can now be counted in weeks.

I am not saying that this causes any panic. But we decided at the end of last year that Microsoft PowerPoint was alright to show images in a talk but could we do better. We made plans on how to improve our talks and the way our images were presented. We even researched the problems and possible solutions and came up with a plan. We could give people attending our talks, a better experience, when compared to using MS PowerPoint.

So research done, decision made, then as I suspect happens to lots of people, life sort of got in the way. It was only the wake up of the diary that prompted us to get busy.

So that is our excuse for not that many posts this month. We have been trying out the new software. Making sure it works and getting our talks together in the new format. So far all seems to be working well and the new style of presentation looks great and will give a whole new experience to people coming to our talks. Once we have got the new software beaten into shape and we are happy with the results we will be posting some video of the new talks here on the website. And we promise that we will try and do better in August, honest, fingers crossed.

Until next time.
