Just submitted a proposal to do a blitz talk on Speech Recognition in Education Apps at @nsconference. Fingers crossed.
I've been kept waiting for my 3pm meeting with CORFO for 25 minutes. I guess I have to get used to Chilean time but it's still frustrating
I have received my contract back from CORFO. My @startupchile term has now officially started. w00t!
Brain overloaded by Spanish class that was too advanced for me. Will drop down a level tomorrow I think.
Super quiet in CMI today. Brain overloaded by Spanish class. (@ Start-Up Chile HQ @ Centro Movistar Innova) https://foursquare.com/fluffye...
Obviously I have no idea how many of those 24 I got right.
Just completed the language assessment for Spanish class tomorrow. 24/56 questions answered. Wonder what level that puts me in?
I wrote the wrong month on my post offering to talk to anyone considering a @startupchile application. It's 22nd-28th March not April.
Total pitch fuck up. Fell apart again. Good job this is only pitch training.
"assuming that we're working to the same screen size, resolution & font size, here is my 3 line description..." So hard not to send this.
A line defined as requested: "A line is about 5 inches wide. Or just to about the end of this sentence before the text wraps". WTF?
Just been reminded that I'm doing pitch training tomorrow. Now to figure out how to describe @TinyEarsTech & the business opp in 60 seconds.
RT @ianozsvald: Despite some language difficulties I have to say that the #startupchile staff really are rather wonderful and helpful #itreallyhelps
RT @radicalrobotltd: Finally updated our website to reflect some of our recent work and to talk about @TinyEarsTech. http://radicalrobot.co.uk/project...
What kind of instruction is 'send 3 lines only about x'? How big exactly is a line? To fit on A4? On the screen of the guy reading it?

After all that prep I still managed to waffle in that interview. I need more practice at this.
Mockups sent for sanity checking and feedback. Feeling good that progress is being made.
First @TinyEarsTech UI mockups almost done.

At last! Success! I AM going to be back in the UK from 17th-31st March. Anyone else I know going to @nsconf?
This is annoying the hell out of me. I can't pay for these goddamn flights because every card I use gets rejected.
making my way through my todo list and being thwarted at every turn.

so far I love @startupchile, but I hate that I am being forced to use Facebook so much. If only there was a better way to stay in touch.
RT @wadhwa: We can do better than one laptop per child--we can have one tutor per child. That's the potential of AI/learning technologies. #kairos
First >5k run since my injury 7 months ago. Just need to improve my times now.
