TEDx Sheffield 2011

I am very excited to say that I will be speaking at this event at the Showroom Cinema on the 22nd September. The subject of my slot will probably be of no surprise to anyone: The Nepalese Ratel or honey badger My part in the twitter campaign to lobby the advertisers in the News of the World. I promise that I won’t spend the *whole* time going through the contents of the perl script I wrote for it line by line.

Read more about TEDxSheffield and the rest of the speaker list then snap up a ticket, currently on sale at £10/£5.

P.S. I didn't write the blerb about me, so no sarcy comments about "mild mannered web technologist" ;->

Misread your note at the bottom and thought you were asking us to decline from making saucy comments about you...

...then re-read and breathed a sigh of relief ;-)

That sounds like a really interesting TEDx talk topic—especially the part about the Twitter campaign and the “honey badger” angle I was just taking a break from PMP stress and the thought “pay someone to take my PMP test” popped into my head again, so this was a fun and unexpected read.

Reading this on TEDx Sheffield really made me think about how fast student life gets overwhelming, especially with online classes taking up most of the day. I remember struggling to keep up with deadlines while trying to stay focused during lectures. At one point I even searched for ways to write my assignment UK because managing everything alone was getting tough, and that’s when I came across UK Assignment Help through a friend. It didn’t magically fix everything but it definitely made things more manageable, and now I try to stay more balanced with my studies.
