Excellent work, I just applied some of this thinking to a truculent method I was fixing today! I feel like you could pretty easily turn this into a e-book, like something I would gladly pay Peepcode $9 for! hey man, I just watched this over the course of a few bottle feedings.

Also, I know it's a bit of a hike but I'll be giving it again next month at the Harrisburg Ruby group. I'm shopping it around to conferences, so you might get another chance to see it in person.

You didn't seem nervous at all. This was very well organized and original. I enjoyed your all topic no fluff style. Most presentations end up relying on slide transitions and lolcats instead of content which is not the case here - most refreshing. Your simple html slides were appreciated and allowed me to follow along in another browser window and take notes - can't wait for the next talk! Great work Avdi! You didn't seem nervous at all.

You elegantly discussed your topic, and those four steps (gather
input, perform work, deliver results, and handle errors), I think
you've introduced a new line of thinking into our community.

I can't wait to see you talk again.
