Wow, just learned that NDC Conference deleted the recording of my 2014 opening keynote, A Happy Grain of Sand.

They didn’t have downloads enabled on their Vimeo site and they just told me they don’t keep backups of the talks.

What a dick move.

If you’re speaking for them, make sure you back up your talk videos.

Asshats.

Had my talk on Small Web accepted at #why2025 but I hadn’t realised (my bad) that not only do you have to cover your own travel and accommodation but you also have to buy a ticket to speak. I’m sorry, as part of a tiny two-person not-for-profit working for the common good, I can’t afford to pay to speak at events. I’m not Deloitte. So I sadly had to withdraw my talk.

If any conferences do want to hear about the Small Web and are willing to support our work by paying us to speak about it, please feel free to get in touch:
