My Recent Talk at the UK House of Parliament

NOTE:  We had some difficulty with the links to this talk which we have now mostly fixed.  There's no video, but audio for the whole event is now uploaded to this site as are the PDFs links to which are provided below. 

My recent talk at the House of Parliament was recorded and has just been put up on their website.  A video of the talk itself, a PDF of the slides, and an audio (MP3) recording of the Q&A session are all available.

I have only watched the video and have not yet listened to the Q&A, so I don't know if that portion came out at all.  (I imagine that the questions themselves will not have been captured well by the single microphone at the front, so hopefully I remembered to restate the questions like a good presenter should).

But the video is certainly passably good for a single camera perched on a table off to the side.  If you flip through the slides as I talk, it's not too hard to follow along, although the slides cannot be seen at all on the mini-screen.

(Links to everything below)

The event was well-attended, the room was full, the questions were numerous and excellent, and we went right to the end of the allotted time before we had to terminate the Q&A so that a few of us could finally head across the street for a pint.

Here's the direct link to the video:  [Note:  Video is unavailable at this time due to techncial issues]

Here's a link to the audio for the Presentation and for the Q&A:  Link to Q&A 

A PDF of the slides I used can be found for download at the bottom of this post.

Enjoy!

One more picture of myself and a couple of new friends (looking from the presenter's area towards the back):

The video from about 7:00 to 23:00 is messed up - frozen.

I am having the same problem.. the video downloads fine, but the video stops about 6:32 minutes into the video, and picks up again and the stops about 23 minutes in. 

 

can this be fixed.

 Almost finished listening to the mp3, have to say I'm amazed at the Q&A performance.. the ability to rapidly think on your feet and give a considered response... the depth of information contained in the answers.

 Incredible.

Haven't listened to it yet, but when I d/l the Q&A mp3 and then imported it into iTunes, the program lists the genre of the audio file as being "blues"...  Somebody making a statement about the info contained therein?  Tongue out

OOOPS .... the camera was James', he handed it to me about 30 seconds before Chris started to speak, and I had about 5 seconds training. For some reason the camera can only video for something like 22 mins before it has to be restarted, which I did ... just as the questions started the battery seemed to fail, so I used my own camera for the Q&A, though at 1.9GB I'm not sure how to upload the file as I'm only allowed 500 Mbytes per week to the site James uses, also my camera was filming in HDTV widescreen format which won't upload to that site.

Re: My Recent Talk at the UK House of Parliament

the uploaded file seems to be flawed
it downloads fine as others indicate

00:00-06:26    [duration: 06:26]    start title, then video start
06:27-23:25    [duration: 16:58]    frozen frame
23:26-25:21    [duration: 01:55]    black, then continues video
25:22-32:37    [duration: 07:15]    frozen frame
32:38-32:41    [duration: 00:03]    black, then end title

we only manage to see about 08:20 of the video...

Amazing, I very much look forward to the watch/listen. Very impressive, maybe one day our country will be as interested.

CLSA's Chris Wood with 6 minute CNCB video saying sovereign debt crisis will roll through UK first, and then hits the US within 5 years.

As for his background, he called the subprime crisis in 2005, so a bit early but way ahead of the pack.

Bummer to hear about the video file.  Just FYI, the audio file includes the whole talk, not just the Q&A, so you can try that way at least.
