Laura has put a gun to my head.
I have to decide on a topic for my talk at Skycon and I’ve got about 24 hours to do it.
For once I won’t be the only representative from Blacknight presenting!! Paul, in a possible moment of madness, also agreed to give a talk.
As he’s a hardcore geek he’ll probably be right at home, whereas I’m a little more wary.
What should I give a talk on??
Bearing in mind that it’s quite a technical conference, judging by the timetable, what would people recommend?
I was contemplating doing something on email filtering. (The last talk I gave in UL was on SEO)
Any thoughts?

From Laura:
I would hardly say gun to the head
From michele:
Women never do
From elly parker:
There seems to be a certain tone that women can strike in their voice (I call it the ‘teacher tone’) that will force a man into doing pretty much what you want. We use it sparingly, but when we do it’s very effective!

That maybe so, however I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time being bossed around by women

From elly parker:
Don’t feel whipped – you get bossed around so much because you can actually get things done for us. The more useful a man is, the more we’ll use him! (in a nice way!)

You should talk about whatever you are passionate about. Given our office is within spitting distance we will come down and say hello. Or something to that effect.
