    Ok, this is really own-horn-tooting, but I thought it's nice to share it.
    After all it's about our department and group just as much. Just got the
    evaluations from the oopsla tutorials, which were pretty favorable to the
    aop tutorial I taught (#16).

    Of the 53 tutorials, tutorial 16 ranked 12th at "overall impression," with
    3.15 points out of 4 (0 = awful, 4 = great). Also, yours truly ranked an
    honorable place 6 in the top preferred tutorial presenters.

    There's some adventure to it. First, one evening before the printout
    deadline I discovered a fatal flaw in an idea that the original tutorial
    presenter was having, flaw that rendered about 30% of the material useless.
    So I reworked the thing until literally the last minute, and I mean
    *literally*. Second, I had the flu the day I talked, but under the effect of
    the adrenaline (I guess), the flu held back for the 3:30 hours of the
    tutorial... after which it resumed. Quite weird :o\.
