After getting back from @TraverseEvents Waypoint I thought I'd publish my slides - they are much more detailed than the sparse ones I create for something like @brightonseo (where I am speaking in October) so here they are in their multicoloured glory: https://t.co/KAqaXzJl9Y
I recently hit my head on a low beam. A few days later someone who witnessed it asked, "How's your head?" I gave the correct, prescribed response of, "Never had any complaints," and got a blank look of incomprehension. How thick can people be?
