I have no nefarious plans. I recorded some things in the past (2004),
dropped it on my shared drive at home and have not seen it since, but
get a warm feeling knowing it's there (maybe). simply wanted to get
the context of another presentation (that you can not get with slides)

I did upload slides from one conference on a nas drive at work and
tried to get everyone to take a peek at some things. No such luck.

Yesterday I sent out a spec at work that was very important and no one
(stake holders) even read it. Just said "looks good to me". At any
rate it is not that a recording of any presentation that would cause
concern, but what someone thinks about what could be done with it, and
all those thoughts are simply not based on reality given I can get no
one to listen to other things anyway. Everyone is too freaking busy
with their own things and live in their own little reality to look
outside all the things they are focused on and have pressure to
deliver day to day. A recording only, would not draw much attention
given there are 1K+ actual quality videos from some of the conferences
that you list below.

thanks for the info. I am here with several other people from my
company, but they all want to go to other sessions and not the one I I
am looking for but it's not a big deal.

at any rate I have caught a number of Groovy things at the local jug
here, but will catch more of them if I can. Mostly checking out rich
client related presentations as that relates to what I am currently
doing.
