panoye @ web.start

Just a few words on my 10-minute web.start presentation. The first few minutes consisted of this short presentation about panoramic photography (it is in Croatian):



After the presentation I wanted to show how panoye works. But... It was a Windows Vista PC and the internet connection was broken!

I consider myself a good computer specialist but I don't like Vista. I tried it once (for half an hour) and then returned to XP and (my favourite) Ubuntu linux.

There, in front of all those people listening to me I was trying to reconnect to the net. But didn't know how to do it. One of the organisers tried to help me, but he too failed. It took 10 minutes (and three IT specialist!) to reach the internet :) The rest of the presentation continued smoothly with quite a few questions about the site and panoramic photography.

  1. Well, thanks again for putting me there, it's a great honour for me...
    And I guess it was a bit disappointed trying to connect to the internet in a internet related forum!

  2. Wow, honored to be present in a presentation :D
    Funny the story about Vista, but Linux or Mac OSX is so much better and more efficient :D
