>One XFest he stood on stage giving a Powerpoint presentation on debugging and multithreaded concerns. An animation was slow, and he broke into it and started debugging Powperpoint live to demonstrate some of his techniques. A legend.
Is there a video of this somewhere? Sounds amazing.
- brucedawson 7y agoTo be clear, the profiling of Powerpoint in the middle of the presentation was a stunt, planned in advance. I just didn't tell anybody I was going to do that. At that point I was an ex-Microsoft person giving a talk at a Microsoft conference using Microsoft tools to profile Microsoft's presentation software. It may have been a cheeky thing to do, but it was so much fun. I'm not aware of any publicly available video but I did a writeup of the issue: https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2011/08/29/powerpoint-poor-performance-problem/ https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2011/08/29/powerpoint-poor...
