I had half an hour, which is just a dumb length of time to speak.  I can do 5 or 15 minutes pretty easily, but then there&#8217;s this window out to about an hour where it&#8217;s hard to get rolling on anything in detail, and yet make it stop in time.  After an hour &#8230; I&#8217;ll happily go all day.  God, I love the sound of my own voice.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I went short &#8211; 20 minutes rather than 30.  The guy after me more than made up for it &#8230; and the rest of the speakers sort of compensated back.  I thought I was well received &#8230; people kept coming up to me on the show floor and wanting to corner me on one point or another &#8230; so I guess that&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n<p>Back into town today for another session.  Basically, today is the day that we meet with business partners and such.  Yesterday was fun because I was surrounded by smart, interested people all day.  Today will be less fun, I think, because it&#8217;ll be more about schmoozing.<\/p>\n<p>Actually *going* to work is such a pain.  Dressing, driving, talking to people.  I have no idea how people get any real work done, if they have to do this every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I gave my talk yesterday at Bio-IT World and it went okay.
