What do you mean not the best time to visit Montreal? It’s gorgeous there this time of year, and there’s plenty to do:

Hey cool! I’m in CS at Concordia and I’m totally coming.
Oh shit, it’s tonight. And yesterday and the day before. And I’m going to a show. Ugh.
Carleton Engineering FTW!
I hope you are enjoying your stay in Montreal.
I never knew Dave Thomas from Wendy’s did any programming. Killer.
Hi Jeff, I am a long time reader and sometimes commenter, how dissapointing is that such a good blog had to rely on some external site to host a 3mb PPT, not only I couldn’t download the file quickly but also was redirected to dating pages and free porn pages… please check the quality of the sites you decide to use, it does affect your image…
I was kind of hoping for video of your presentation, but it was good regardless.
I really enjoyed your keynote at CUSEC, thank you very much for coming! You inspired one of my close friends to start blogging again.

I would also like to see the mentioned Hi-res video 
Jeff,
As Esteban said above, I am also a reader of yours, but was immediately surprised when, after clicking on the link to download your presentation, I was redirected to a site which presented me with popup ads for porn and myspace layouts! Surely you didn’t realize that the site that you posted your file on was loaded with crap.
As the others have mentioned… The site hosting the presentation is VERY unprofessional. I wish I had known the types of popups before going there… but then it was too late… VERY unprofessional. Love your blog though.
I am working on hosting the file locally, but I certainly did not experience any “unprofessional” popups from the current file host in my testing. That’s odd. I got one popup for a T-Shirt company, and that’s all.
works. thanks.
good points. thanks for the clarity.
DOWNLOAD HORROR!!!
FIVE - countem pop-UNDERS that showed up even though I have my firefox popup blocker set.
A truly AWFUL download experience.
Gives your most excellent site a very bad taste.
Heck I still don’t know if the file even got transferred, but I ain’t goin back there!
And I really want to read your presentation.
nuts!
Sorry for the host problems. I didn’t see any of that when I tested it! The file is now hosted locally via the link at the bottom of the post, so try again if you had problems.
