These end up being a bit of a monster so require decent upload bandwidth to get them up there. My poor home connection is struggling somewhat.

So you're claiming it took 5 days to upload them? :-) Did you see the video? http://bit.ly/3J0vyS Shame you didn't go "Beep" when you changed the slide so people could follow along ;-)

@ajcann Richard has a very annoying doorbell noise he adds to his slide transition, keeps the students awake and then he uploads with mp3 audio recording of the presentation, so you can join the two together. I think he's the only person still using our mp3 recorders from the techdis project!

Nope. I'm claiming I didn't have a decent internet connection till yesterday and thought I deserved at least one day of rest :-) Hmmm, wonder if you could set up a high pitched sound off the computer that would be picked up by the camera but not audible? I might try and pull the audio off the video and see if I can do a slidecast at some point. I haven't watched much of the video though - can't stand watching myself...

I usually do a shortened mp3 for my talks which I sync up on Slideshare before the talk. I suspect people are less tolerant of me droning on online than during a talk. I know I am. As Guy Kawasaki says of PowerPoint presentations with too much text, I can think faster than this bozo can talk.

That's true - hence I try to put enough text on the slides to make them more or less self sufficient. Doesn't always work of course. Especially if there is a big chunk of live demo missing...
