Update on SITE08 Keynote

by | Wednesday, April 02, 2008

This presentation depended quite heavily on the exact synching of slide transitions to the audio – and the previous version messed that up here and there. More embarrassing was the fact that we had a typo on the very first screen of the previous version. Oops!

Anyway, all that has been fixed. Here’s the link (once again).
