I'm finding myself in PowerPoint more and more lately building presentations for explaining the work that I'm doing.  It's tough for me as I'm not a very visual person.  I know what I like, but I'm damned if I can make it appear on screen.

I've found Presenters University to be quite a handy site with articles about building presentations, reviews and links to presentation enhancing software and a download library of presentation templates, icons and clip-art.

I will be at KM Europe sometime between 13th-15th November (I haven't decided which day/days I will go yet).  Is anyone else going to be there?  It would be cool to meet up over an incredibly overpriced coffee, or maybe (if they are an enlightened crowd or there is a pub nearby) beer!

I went to the first Ryze london mixer event at Bed on Smithfields last night and I must say I had a very good time.  At least that's what my sore head and hoarse voice would seem to indicate.

It being my first networking event I was unsure what to expect and somewhat nervous.  This wasn't helped by my being greeted by a huge throng of people packed into a downstairs bar.  It sure was cozy.  In the end that turned out to be good.  Lots of friendly people packed together we all seemed to get along and talk to each other.

I met everyone from Jazz trumpet players to VP's of strategic planning.  I met quite a few people in the same boat as me (starting a company), lots of people looking for business and even a mixaholic who just loves networking events and meeting lots of different people.

I will definitely be back and this time I WILL HAVE BUSINESS CARDS!
