I was asked by Andi how my slideshow went at the fringe meeting.
The fringe meeting was well attended with around 80 people present at the start. It was a bit disorganised at the beginning as no one took charge. Situation normal ;-)
The meeting got underway eventually. The first speaker was quite brief and he was followed by my two colleagues who were supposed to linking in our campaigns to the slide show. It started off quite smoothly, but then they got a bit carried away and talked for quite some time and duplicated the information that was already in the slide show!!! They left the viewing of the slideshow until after the final speaker, by which time most people had gone...
So only about 10 people actually saw it, I was not best pleased after all that hard work. Another of my colleagues turned to me and commented on the fact that the speakers had duplicated what was in the slideshow. I just shrugged and said never mind I am going to reduce it to 10 minutes and you can choose me some good music and we will upload it to You Tube where everyone can see it ;-)

The response was along the lines of, that sounds like a plan to me!
You should be able to view the original via this link on the photodex website, although it will ask you to download a little bit of software to view it (If it asks the password is rally25).

Doesn't repetition drive you mad? Some Sunday morning speakers make their point and then say it again in three different ways to make sure we've got it. Their talk could be over in 5 minutes but, no, they've got to repeat themselves!
What a shame that your hard work didn't get a large audience.
Do yu giv them an interval, wiv cayke? If so, can I come?
:@D
Liz - Yes there was no need to repeat it, as it was already in the slideshow. Don't worry it will be doing the rounds, I just didn't need to rush to get it completed on time!!!
Bob - Well there was sandwiches and crisps. I shall ask for cake especially next time ;-)
Dispiriting isn't it, when so much hard work goes to waste.
Letus know when its on YouTube- doesn't sem to want me to view this link...
Crushed - Yes it is a little especially after I was under so much pressure to deliver on time after I had said NO!
I do know it will get seen by lots of people when I have changed the music ;-) and I will post it on my blog (when I have reduced it to You Tube length) so my blog friends can see too!
Typical! And after all that hard (and hurried!) work. Nice to be appreciated :)
Dragonstar - Typical yes! The work won't go to waste though ;-)
