Spent most of today putting together a slideware presentation for a client tomorrow: I have to stand in front of approximately four hundred (non-software) engineers, and tell them what Confluence can do for them, and how.

The fact it took most of the day to come up with an hour's worth of presentation is testament to just how much of a time-sink trying to produce a halfway decent slide-show is.

I'm not sure how informative it is on its own. I tend to write slides to augment my delivery, rather than to repeat what I'll be saying anyway, and all the really important stuff is dealt with in the demo in the middle. On the other hand, there's some nice eye-candy going on, and having spent all day on it I want to show it off. Props to KeynotePro for their Duet theme.

Like all novices, I've used far too many transitions, but I had to keep myself amused somehow.
