I've now ploughed through all the feedback forms from last Friday and worked out what I'm going to be talking about in my weekly tech demos over the course of this semester. It was a surprisingly close-run thing in places, but the areas of interest were mostly as I expected. I'll have to see about getting in a guest presenter for one or two of the events, but that hopefully won't be a problem :-)
Here's the list of topics and dates. Unless otherwise specified on the OSUM website, all my tech demos will be held on Fridays at 1pm in room M4.09 (that's the James Weir Building). You can click the links below for more details and to register for events, just so long as you've got an osum.sun.com account (and if you don't, see my previous post for a run-through of how to sign up!).

In addition to the above events, I've got some other stuff in the pipeline to sort out, including an organised tour of Sun's Linlithgow campus. I'll probably do that one during the Easter break, so we don't interfere with anyone's class schedules, so I'll talk about that more once I've made some arrangements - as always, watch this space!
