This weekend I have my first Pecha Kucha talk and I figured that it would be a good idea to write down my thoughts and suggestions on how to prepare better and also deliver a good talk in this format.
Just to remind you, a Pecha Kucha talk is a format for giving a presentation where you have 20 slides, each slide is presented on screen for 20 seconds, slides change without your control, as a result whole talk takes 6 minutes 40 seconds.
This was a Pecha Kucha talk, shown at ChamberConf 2016 - http://chamberconf.pl/

As an alternative to flux I use redshift on my Linux machine. Recently I stumbled upon very weird problem – each time I close Java desktop app and redshift was active, the screen flashed. It was a very quick change that looked like redshift was disabled and then enabled again.
I was starting redshift like this:
redshift-gtk -l manual -l 51.126:17.033 After trying out few configuration options it turns out that changing video method to vidmode was the right solution for my problem:

Few days ago I have gave a “Introduction to Bitcoin for programmers” talk once again, today with updates and improvements. The talk was give at DRUG #61 which was and after-after party after wroc_love.rb conference.
Yesterday I have presented following deck at local DRUG meetup. There are only few slides but the overall talk took over an hour.
