You are sitting there in a training class at Usenix/Lisa06, or any other lisa for that matter. It supposed to be really good. The most knowledgeable person in the world on the target. Ok, that's a bit over the top, but at least hi should be good. Then you just realize that he is a very lousy speaker. You have paid good money to be here, so what should you do? You should not leave, that's not polite. But, see, stuff is happen right there behind your back:
- Bring up your laptop
- Pull up your irc-client. Sure you have one, right?
- Connect to irc.sage.org
- join #lisa??, insert the current year.
- have Fun!
It is as simple as that. A large crowd, with all the knowledge and great humor, can make event the most boring lecture quite fun.
I don't know. I'm probably just a bit bored. I think rehearsels should be mandatory for instructors people have to pay that much to get to listen to. Rehearsel in front of a board of referees, that is.
That's my idea for the future!
Take care, and be nice to bad instructors. And tell the organizers what you think!
