After a fraught speaker training session yesterday when I realised Sun had replaced the words 'JavaScript' and 'Java' with stock phrases, such as 'JavaScript Programming Language' in my presentation titles I had to go and get that sorted out, and then spent the afternoon doing the practice that my session coach recommended: reading each slide out loud 15 times. It was very useful, but after 4 hours doing that yesterday afternoon the combination of talking for that long and jetlag kicking in meant that I could barely think or speak and so I gave in and tried to get some sleep. As Gary and I had started the day early with an insomniac's photography walk around San Francisco I am hoping to get over the lingering jetlag today and be ready for the first full day of JavaOne tomorrow.
