Phew! Finally done.

Day seems to have gone well for all the apprehension this morning. I could definitely have used a fraction more time to prepare myself, but in the end it seems to have gone down a treat.

Highlights:
comment after the first session (the one with the computing academic who didn't want to practice our double act for fear we'd forget what we'd planned to say) that it was well rehearsed!

demonstrating Second Life and ending up doing the salsa with said academic who logged in via a laptop

using my laptop to take notes in a feedback session that I saved to the shared drive over the network such that the file could then be opened up from the front and shown the the room rather than squinting at scribbled flipcharts

The lowlight was probably the half hour session pointing out some of the 'dark side' of the web and in particular web 2.0. Crime and abuse and ethical issues... Good to be reminded of it, but the two presenters weren't pulling punches and we really did hear about some of the worst examples of what's been happening in the courts and the press.

Thanks are due to a former colleague though, who dutifully turned up as promised in Second Life while we were 'live' in front of 40 people and provided some in world interaction that people found really helpful as an example of what goes on. Thanks S.

I'm utterly drained now. But brother has persuaded me to go to a debate on nuclear energy this evening, so no rest for the wicked.
