Think you could deliver a Register lecture? Tell us why We’re planning an ambitious series of Register lectures for next year, and we want to hear from you if you think you’ve got what it takes to fascinate and amaze our audience...or simply know someone who does. Over the last few years we’ve had a series of brilliant speakers covering everything from the rise of sex robots, new …
I have a selection of talks that go down very well with the local WIs - problem is they tend to be on 19th century Welsh history, so not much of an IT angle. Although the one on 19th century pubs of Cardiganshire may be of interest to our readers...
Yep. Same here.
I did a talk a few weeks ago to a Local Natural History group about Life in Madagascar.
Again, not an IT angle but it seems to go down well.
TBH, In recent years, talks on anything IT related tended to send me to sleep in a matter of minutes. That might even be a few seconds after a few beers... Hic.
No. You only think you give lectures on how aliens control our every day lives. In fact the audience is just a hullucination, generated by the aliens, in order to stop you from actually telling people.
Just as I only think I'm typing this post, and in actual fact when I hit post it will simply disapper from my computer, never to be seen again.

Unbelievably poor. I've got away with knowing f**k all about technology or indeed anything much for years now, and received a good amount of cash for my ignorance, mainly because I don't talk much and certainly don't offer opinions. I just agree with whoever my manager is that week, then return to my usual state of blank calm, whilst they get stressed.
For enough cash I'll give it a go, of course, who wouldn't, but don't say you weren't warned.
Why not pick that Russel 6 chap above? He seems eager to please and has documented the war developing systemd or enveloping Syria - I forget which.
