Ideas wanted for a talk I'm giving

Yeah, prop humour is always good. Bring a big box stuffed full of manilla envelopes, napkins, a pen with an exploded ink cartridge gluing everything up, graph paper, broken coffee mug with a note written on the side in Sharpie, etc. Stacks of messes. Those little dictaphone cassettes with the tape pulled out and entwined amongst it all. Then turn on your 11" MBA.

With a rocket ship desktop background of course.

LOVE IT

I’m sure I’m not alone in wondering how your talk went.

Any chance of letting us know what you talked about in the end, how it went, what you’d do differently next time (if anything) and if it’s available to see/hear somewhere?

Thanks.

I’d love to hear how it went too. I was checking the site for podcasts and can’t find any…

But while looking over the list of guests I was struck by Keith’s amazing similarity to Detective Nick…

He probably saw the robot space pirates shooting cupcakes from their hands and decided to look elsewhere for advice. :slight_smile:

Keith,

I have very little experience with Scrivener so far, but after spending time using it, I tried to export a book I hoped I was going to release in a few days. I had made changes while building my website, that I wanted to incorporate into the first several chapters. I don’t have the discipline to leave things alone, and don’t want multiple copies, because if I do hit on a good idea, I want to be sure it makes it in the book. That’s a long winded way of saying what I imported into Scrivener was the latest update of what I want to publish within days, but without the changes on the website. I wanted to export it to use a compare function to make sure what I felt were improvements made it into the first edition. Long story short, which I realize this is not,… VERY FRUSTRATING!! I had to contact your tech support, which was prompt and I’m sure capable, but I’ve not yet had time to try it. Still trying to make it short. GETTIN’ STUFF IN,… AND GETTIN’ IT OUT,… HOW CAN YOU DO IT QUICK AND EASY?? Hope this helps,… and wish I could go,… even if this isn’t addressed.

Since the talk was at the end of October 2011, unless you have some time-travel device, it’s unlikely you’d be able to go in any case!
