With both WDS07 and OZ-IA/2007 rap­idly approach­ing, and a most of the local blog­space remind­ing people to sign up with Web Dir­ec­tions before the dis­count pri­cing ends this Fri­day at 2200 WST. (You should go at least once Ashul!).

It is time to put in plug for Oz-IA/2007. Dis­claimer, by put­ting the Oz-IA logo on this post, I am will go into the draw to win a free ticket to Oz-IA. How­ever, as soon as regis­tra­tions opened I bought a ticket, so if I do win the ticket to Oz-IA/2007 I will have to find a fair way to redis­trib­ute it.

So Miles has tagged me with Web Dir­ec­tions Photo Meme to cel­eb­rate less than a month to go to Web Dir­ec­tions South 2007, that there are more digital cam­eras than people attend­ing these events and to prove that I actu­ally atten­ded in the past and had a very good time doing so as well as […]

The story as I tell it. About fives years ago when Miles was work­ing as a freel­ance web developer, he felt isol­ated from oth­ers in the insustry. So Miles and a few oth­ers set up the Port80 forum and most import­antly decided to meet the first Wed­nes­day of each month at a local pub to com­plain about cli­ents over a few beers…

Car­ni­val of the Mobil­ists #88 is out and yes that present­a­tion is in it. For those who do not know, the Car­ni­val of the Mobil­ists is a weekly col­lec­tion of blog posts on mobiles and wire­less in one spot. Which moves from blog to blog each week to share the workload

As usual there are a num­ber of very good post, which I am cur­rently reading.

If you have a blog or web­site, you want stat­ist­ics, the best place to get them cur­rently is Google Ana­lyt­ics. The stat­ist­ics are amaz­ing in both detail and depth, with one excep­tion identi­fy­ing mobile devices&#8230

Sue of Mobile Tech­no­logy in TAFE of has taken my Web­Jam slide show added audio from Greenguy’s video and com­bined them to pro­duce a much improved ver­sion of my present­a­tion without me boun­cing around the stage. The res­ult­ing dis­cus­sion is interesting.

Sue of Mobile Tech­no­logy in TAFE just pos­ted an art­icle of provid­ing learn­ing mater­ial on mobile phones and poin­ted out this art­icle about the options of deliv­er­ing train­ing mater­ial via the mobile phone. While I can see real advant­ages in be able to deliver train­ing mater­ial via mobile devices, so stu­dent can have their train­ing mater­ial on hand and eas­ily access­ible in the work­place. It should not be the only chan­nel at present.

Thanks to Green­Guy, my moment of glory/infamy at Web­Jam is now on YouTube.

aka the art of the 3 minute presentation

The websledge present­a­tion is on slide­share, it has had a couple of minor addi­tions (ie what I should of added earlier). But it really needs an audio track, because the words are far more import­ant than the slides, plus you miss the cheer from the staff of one web design com­pany when they find the have not been left out. I will let you know if the video goes online.

Cre­at­ing a 3 minute present­a­tion for Web­Jam is harder than cre­at­ing a 30 minute present­a­tion for another event…

I would like to thank the people who voted for me. I never thought I win a prize or gen­er­ate a new word to describe my type of present­a­tion web-sledging. The main aim of my present­a­tion was to enter­tain the audi­ence, and hope­fully get them think­ing about how any new sites they develop will look in mobile browsers. Yes I did websledge by demostrat­ing the prob­lems of mobile web on sites cre­ated by people I knew would be in the audi­ence (and sorry if I did not pick on your site I only had 3 minutes). I hope it was taken in way inten­ded, all in good fun.
