no-defun-allowed: Will you be around to answer questions during the streaming of your talk?

I won't be presenting today, sorry. I had too much planned, I got stuck with a homework question for most of a weekend, then I had no time to finish the demos that I wanted to present.

Usually I've been able to stay to watch the talks and discuss them for some time after, though.

My plan was to briefly go over the history of my distributed networking stuff, talk about the connection protocol, then collaborative filtering with a demo showing different filtering algorithms in a CLIM-based viewer program, then to look at concurrent hash tables and the in-progress bailout thread supervision system.

Exactly, then I was not happy with the audio quality, because studio microphones are very directional, and I was not focused on keeping close to the microphone while recording, I can't seem to speak without losing track for over a minute, and I got a sore throat from having to re-record so frequently.

Why do you need to figure it out? Sorry for answering a question with another question.
