Podcasts of all the main presentations are now available.

Thanks must go to Simon Tweed who has tirelessly processed the audio recordings, cleaned them up, sliced and diced them and done all kinds of post-processing to make them into mp3s. The end result is exceptionally good - much better than the kind of quality I'm used to from conference recordings. They are a joy to listen to.

Each session is a separate mp3 file. You can listen to it live on the site or download it to your mp3 player and listen at your leisure.

The presentation slides are been hosted by Slideshare who provide a nice flash based applet that allowed them to be view directly on this site. As an aside, slideshare uses Amazon S3 for its storage and content hosting - S3 was much discussed during the conference.

A nice feature of slideshare is that the audio tracks can be synchronised with the slide presentations. As time permits we will be doing this for some of the presentations. The first, Querying the Web, has already been done. If you want the best possible viewing experience then click the little green play button beneath the slides, sit back, relax and enjoy.

Oh, and one last thing. The nice people at slideshare have picked my Querying the Web presentation as one of their featured slidecasts, which is really cool.
