There Are Fates Worse Than Death: The OPW2013 KeynoteJohn Anderson
Â
This keynote discusses the speaker grappling with how to define himself and his work, moving from seeing himself as just a Perl programmer to a more broad definition as a generalist problem solver. He discusses struggles with planning the keynote talk. The talk encourages the Perl community to stop talking so much about Perl itself and instead focus on spreading word of the innovative and helpful projects created within the community. It suggests community members look outward to other programming communities to share what they've created and find opportunities for collaboration rather than isolation.
Conference presentations are the moment to share your results, and to connect with researchers about future directions. However, presentations are often created as an afterthought and as a result they are often not as exciting as they could be.
In this slidedeck Felienne Hermans shares hands-on techniques to engage an audience.
The talk covers the entire spectrum of presenting: we start with advice on how to structure a talk and how to incorporate a core message into it. Once we have addressed the right structure for a talk, we will work on adding stories and arcs of tension to your presentation. Finally, to really perform as a presenter, we will talk about how slide design and body language can support your presentation.
The document provides examples of audio projects that could be used for research, including The Archers radio drama, Short Cuts documentary, Lore podcast, and Doctor Who and Soundscapes audio clips. It also includes instructions to delete the slide when done with the research.
Here are a few things you could improve on for future projects:
- Be more flexible with your initial plans and ideas. Don't be afraid to pivot if something isn't working.
- Do more research on storytelling techniques like building tension. Understanding how to craft an engaging narrative is important.
- Plan your production schedule better. Leave more time for editing and polishing versus coming up with new ideas last minute.
- Get feedback earlier from others. Sharing drafts of your script or sounds could help catch issues before the end.
Overall it's great you were willing to change course when needed. With some tweaks to your planning process, your next audio project will benefit. The most important thing is
Beyond your studies ~ You studied X at Y. now what?
HackPra, July 2018
A student's life ago, the author somehow managed to graduate.
On the way, he made a lot of mistakes -- and he still does.
A few people since called him 'successful', but LOL, if only they knew....
And now, the author will do another (big!) mistake:
instead of hiding in shame as he probably should,
he'll share his mistakes with anyone bored enough to attend,
in the hope that he's the last person to ever look that dumb to commit such mistakes.
If you're a genius and you know what to do in life, please skip this. Seriously.
If, like the author at the time, you wonder WTF is going on with graduation, professional work and life, then hopefully you learn a few things. Maybe.
Btw the author is 42 (WTF - old!).
Maybe that will help to provide a few answers.
