My slides for Perl {Blue,Black} Magic

I'm not sure whether they'll remain there but, for the time being, you can grab my YAPC::NA::2005 slides from Fulko's website:

* Perl Black Magic - Obfuscation and Golfing * Perl Blue Magic - Creating Perl Modules and Using CPAN

There's also a different bio for each talk, synopsis, two completely different photos... O:-)

My bio for the first talk is outdated, btw. I'm no longer 26.


Ok, but ... how did he do THAT ?

Black was a nice read, thank you, enjoyed the PDF offline.

I had to read the VIEW SOURCE to find out that BLUE was processed with something that inserted javascript to handle "N" for next !! You obfuscated the non-obfuscation presentation.

What script did that?

You can also use Enter :-)

I used Spork to create those slides.

Ahh, Spork. I've seen mention of that before.

I gather you turned show_controls off and unset link_next etc.

I'll have to give this Spork and/or S5 a try, as my PPT decks have gotten huge. S5 has the advantage of having printer-friendly output option for handouts/notes. Spork::S5 may be the glue I've been looking for ...

Thanks for the timely reminder
