PNSQC Presentation Prep Status
I've been working my tail off to ship CS4 suites as well as get my technical paper presentation ready for PNSQC. My co-worker Gretchen and I have our rooms all booked and transportation arranged. I am lucky enough to have a chauffeur (Gretchen volunteered to drive) for this event now so hopefully I'll be in less pain when we arrive. My role will be navigator/beverage girl. We will arrive in time for the Monday night festivities, so if you are going, please look for us! I am going to post a photo in this blog so you can find me and say hello, and even introduce yourself.
Version 1 of the slides turned out to be 19 slides. Then they announced CS4 shipping and I revised them with new examples and they ended up being 23 slides long. I then found that I didn't like the lack of focus on collaboration and it didn't give enough background for those who weren't familiar with this sort of testing to figure out how we created our documentation or why we did it this way from the feedback I got on Friday during the first dry run. I'm now on revision 2 and I am scheduling several more dry runs before October 12th so that it can be a tight presentation. I'm really excited that I'm one of the earlier speakers, so that I can enjoy the rest of the topics without being nervous about my first presentation ever done external to my company. If you are willing to review my slides, please comment with your email and I'd really appreciate the feedback.
Anyhow, if you are going, please look for Gretchen and I at the conference. I'll be in my reading glasses all day so that I can see people far away and read small fonts.
Anyhow, this is me (yes, this is a super dorky smile in my office on my iMac camera). If I really like what you are geeking out about I might give you this look. Yay! We love Roombas, lipgloss, and StumbleUpon as well as collaborative testing!
In the below photo I've been unleashed on unsuspecting SW Canada. Gretchen is a tall willowy lady (and a brilliant web designer/goddess of all web technologies) with shorter blonde hair. Both of us are pencil necked geeks and a bit on the slim side. Anyhow come say hello, and PLEASE come see the presentation if you are attending. It's in the "testing" track.
Anyhow, definitely come say hi if you are there. There shouldn't be too many people with bright red hair and rhinestones in their glasses. I promised I won't say, "Blog? What blog?"

Hi,
I am Aarti, and I would also be presenting at PNSQC this year (2009). Its nice to read your blog as I share the feelings while working on my presentation.
I am still striving to reduce the number of slides from 28 (I know that sounds too much..). I would love to see your presentation, do send me the link.
And I would really appreciate if you can review mine and provide me the feedback. This is important as this is gonna be my first presentation outside my office just as it was yours last hear.
And btw, you look really pretty and the those glasses suit so very much
Thanks!
Aarti

The blog artical are is very good innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts.
