I don&#8217;t think I gave it as well as I did at the User Conference (largely because, I think, by this time I was really tired), but it still went well (I think).<\/p>\n<p>Feedback is much appreciated &#8211; always looking for ways to improve my talks.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I&#8217;m also wearing an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.augie-march.com\">Augie March<\/a> t-shirt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> watching yourself give a presentation is a bit strange&#8230; but hopefully I can learn from watching my own talk.<\/p>\n<p>Things I&#8217;ve learnt so far:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>some words are spoken a bit quickly\/mumbly. probably due to not knowing how long this presentation would go for (it was a bit cobbled together in the two sessions before mine)<\/li>\n<li>I (for whatever reason) had nano instead of micro for SCI latency. Oh well, hopefully nobody will notice my mistake (apart from when i blogged it. eep)<\/li>\n<li>Make sure the mouse cursor on your slides is hidden\/at the edge of the screen<\/li>\n<li>At least for <a href=\"http:\/\/video.google.com\">google video<\/a> resolution, small text can&#8217;t be read (see my Components of a Cluster slide, you can&#8217;t read the name of the processes &#8211; ndbd, mysqld, ndb_mgmd). Getting around this can be interesting for some slides &#8211; that are easily viewable on a projector, but not on the video. Doh.\n<ul>\n<li>One possible solution is to &#8220;zoom&#8221; in on important text.<\/li>\n<li>For example, the &#8220;A Configuration&#8221; slide. When I talk about each config parameter, have it zoom up to a larger font size (on that big bit of white space on the right)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>I really do want to walk around a room. Having to stand in the one place for the video camera was nearly killing me :)\n<ul>\n<li>This is interesting as for my UC presentation I was annoyed that I couldn&#8217;t get a wireless microphone. Instead I was getting tangled up in a microphone cord.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>I should possibly have some good slides on the split brain problem and a quick example of how we avoid it (and why you need at least three machines)<\/li>\n<li>I sometimes pronounce &#8220;server&#8217; strangely.<\/li>\n<li>I should have a diagram that includes a magic load balancer box showing it load balancing between the mysql servers connected to the cluster.<\/li>\n<li>I should possibly have a clear diagram showing where you can do queries (UPDATE) on cluster (everywhere) versus with replication (only the master).<\/li>\n<li>I don&#8217;t think i should laugh when there&#8217;s something that I think is funny.<\/li>\n<li>Be more carefull about when I stop for a drink of water. Think about it. between slides can be good, but when there&#8217;s something up for people to look at&#8230; maybe the next topic (or something else exciting)\n<ul>\n<li>I&#8217;m unsure if photos of scantily clad models are suitable here&#8230; :)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>For &#8220;find out more&#8221; &#8211; have screenshots of the various things (and a photo of the book)<\/li>\n<li>Need a clear definition of fragment.<\/li>\n<li>I need to pronounce &#8216;configurable&#8217; more clearly.<\/li>\n<li>a laser pointer is not visible on google video<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s all i wrote down while watching it. other input welcome<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Googly MySQL Cluster Talk &#8211; Google Video The talk I gave at Google is now up on Google Video for all to see.
