Last Tuesday, I gave a talk at the DFW chapter of NAISG on “Evolution of an IRT”. Apparently I disappointed the organizers, as my talk didn’t actually have anything to do with Ice Road Truckers.

Note that I presented how I would build an IRT now, not necessarily how I did it last time. I’d do some things the same, but over the last 2.5 years I’ve learned a lot that would change how I’d do it in the future.
While the slides are available, they don’t really work outside of the context of a live presentation: mostly funny Internet pictures to illustrate a point and keep the audience slightly entertained. The outline will make much more sense, I hope. Really, I work from this first, and then riff on it based on what seems to get a reaction and elicit questions, which I happily accept throughout the talk. I don’t think we have a recording, but perhaps I’ll get someone to record a future version of the talk or even do a web-focused one.
