Puppet: System Administration Automated

RubyConf Video is Posted


Looks my the video for my RubyConf presentation, Essential Incompleteness in Program Modeling (which I subtitled How to apply hand-wavy math to software design), has finally been posted. The slides are also available in PDF.

It's a strange talk, that's for sure. For one, it doesn't really have any code in it. And when I say "not really", I mean "none". I only even mention Ruby when talking about Puppet. For two, I kinda submitted the talk on a lark -- my Ruby submissions seem to be largely uninteresting to the Ruby community, so I figured I'd submit this as practice but that it would be denied. When it was actually accepted, I had to go write the darn thing. Third, I did relatively poorly in the presentation. I think the content was actually pretty good, but I did a poor job of organizing the slides and of presenting it. That isn't to say I think it's a bad presentation, just that it could have been much better.

It'd be interesting to be given the opportunity to give the talk in a different environment, somewhere I was just thinking about the talk and not worrying about its appropriateness.

Either way, the talk was an earnest attempt at providing what I think is a cool and useful way at looking at software design, and it's worth a look.
