At the Dutch Perl Workshop 2009 I did a
lightningtalk about how I use Perl to scrobble the
tracks I listen streaming from MediaTomb to my
Playstation 3. So here should be the slides, but
OpenOffice.org fails to export them in a usable
way:

  * Export as a series of images so I can put them
    in a gallery on this site? No, OpenOffice.org
    doesn't provide a way to do that without making
    the user export every single slide
    individually.

  * Export to SWF? Then we loose the 50%
    transparent bitmaps and the footer.

  * Export to PDF? A bit better, but then we loose
    the transparency of the 50% transparent
    bitmaps.

Don't they test these things before they release
such a flagship open source application and confirm
the FUD that open source is crap?

But back to the presentation, thus in odp format,
it's 34 slides presented in 5 minutes, created
because markov convinced me in Frankfurt to do a
talk don't mentioning the war.
