Ugh. Why don't they release the presos as opposed to having to deal with synchronous video?

- jhickner 15y agoIf you mean just the slides, most of them are in this github repo: https://github.com/strangeloop/2011-slides https://github.com/strangeloop/2011-slides
- abscondment 15y agoFor some reason, these slides are only available in a flash widget that's synchronized with the video. Here's a little script to grab the flash and build a PDF for yourself. ImageMagick and swftools required. #!/bin/bash for s in {1..39}; do wget http://www.infoq.com/resource/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy/en/slides/$s.swf; done for swf in *.swf; do swfrender $swf -o $swf.png && rm $swf; done convert `ls *.png -x1 | sort -n | xargs echo` slides.pdf rm -f *.swf.png [Edit: required packages]
- markokocic 15y agoI agree with "teach a man to fish ...", but you know, some people are far away from the sea (linux) so just providing them with the fish (pdf) is also a good option.
- malkia 15y agoThat was Easy! (pun intended) Great talk by Rich Hickey, and thanks for the script.
- ironchef 15y agoAwesome! Thx!
- puredanger 15y agoThis was done at Rich's request. I've asked whether we can release them now that the video is available.
- JoshTriplett 15y agoAny chance of releasing the videos somewhere that doesn't require Flash?
- puredanger 15y agoNo, sorry.
- ludwigvan 15y agoI watched it fine on my iPad, it should be viewable in an HTML5-mp4 capable browser I guess.
- JoshTriplett 15y agoSure enough, if I fake my User-Agent as an iPad, I get a <video> tag referencing a .mp4, which I can then download and watch. Now if only infoq would provide a "download" link pointing to the same .mp4.
- spooneybarger 15y agoI have no interest in seeing slides, I want video.
- jasonwatkinspdx 15y agoThis is my number one gripe about infoq. I love skimming slides to see if it's worth investing an hour in watching a talk.
- neopanz 15y agoI empathize, but at the same time, 5 min. of slide browsing would not drive the point home. People are trying to skimp when they should invest the time. Relax, reserve yourself an hour and enjoy the talk. This is a good one, and getting signals through sound, visual and text will leave a better imprint in our brains.
