Start with XML
posted by Emma on September 1, 2009 07:14 PM
Why is it that I have it in my head that I enjoy public speaking, and therefore readily agree to do lots of it, when just before doing some I remember that it freaks me out? Come along, one and all, and enjoy hearing me at the Start with XML conference tomorrow at the British Library. Watch! as I look nervous and talk a bit too quickly. Marvel! as I tell you all about how we use XML without boring the pants off you. Be Amazed! as I get to the end of the speech without ballsing it up, hopefully. Give me a little cheer to steady my nerves, won't you?
(I don't mind it that much, in truth. I just find it funny that I forget that I get nervous.)
See you tomorrow!
//update//
It went really well! And I had such fun. *Now* I remember why I like public speaking! Thanks for the warm reception, people who were there.

Your presentation was one of the best of the day. I really enjoyed it and I learnt some new stuff. Thanks.

Emma,
You were great, very enjoyable to watch and totally practical! Which from the view of those at the lower ranks of publishing made for a great presentation!
