So the CASCON conference is over, and it was quite a week. I am so tired, I woke up quarter to 6 in the morning every day from Monday to Wednesday of last week just to get to the hotel at around 8 am. But it was great, I spoke about feedreading, RSS and podcasting on Monday and Tuesday at the Hands-on Workshop on the Latest Technologies, and I chaired the Business of Blogging workshop and spoke about my research at that workshop as well. I also had a poster in the Technology Showcase at CASCON. Oh yeah, and also I helped out with doing podcasts of the keynotes and workshops, as well as created a CASCON blog. So, basically, I went CASCON crazy and hopefully made my mark this year. The only thing I don't have to my credit is a CASCON paper, so that's what I will have to work on for next year!
I am now processing the audio that I recorded from the keynotes and workshops from last week which I recorded on the Apple iPod with iTalk. However, I just found out some of the recordings didn't seem to work well. The problem is that the iTalk wasn't plugged in properly into the top of the iPod and so without me knowing about it, the talks never got recorded. However, the best recording was on Wednesday at the Business of Blogging workshop where I was able to record the talks plus the discussion. This weekend I made the edits to the audio, there were some that I had to delete some stuff and amplify, because it was too soft to hear. Editing audio is time consuming. I now need to make an RSS feed of this, and then it will be posted on the CASCON blog.
The next step will be to analyze the data gathered from CASCON, the questionnaires and surveys, as part of my research data.
Oh yes, and by the way, I've finally decided to make a cosmetic change to my blog. The orange colour was getting to me, and it was looking very bad, so I decided to change templates. Hopefully, the presentation style is better now and more people will come read and post comments to my blog!
