What if you have a set of slides that really needs audio to make sense?  That all alone doesn’t really work?  That was the case with my “story of SysAdmin Steve” presentation that I did back at O’Reilly’s Emerging Telephony conference earlier this year.  A number of people commented that without the audio, it was hard to really know how it went.  This was deliberate, really – there was a reason for me doing it that way.

Well, I’m now delighted that the SlideShare folks already updated their “slidecasting” audio synchronization tool so that now I can show the presentation in line with the audio.  So here it is… in all of its 243-slides-in-15-minutes glory… enjoy my little story (and I think that even if you aren’t interested in VoIP security, you may (or may not) find the story entertaining):

Press the green play button to begin.  The first slide starts changing about 3:45 seconds into the show – and then they start changing at a rate averaging about once every 2-3 seconds.  I tried as best I could to sync the slides to the audio… I may adjust it in some places (and the cool part is that you can adjust it!).

Feedback is, as always, quite welcome.  This was a fun presentation to do… and using SlideShare’s slidecasting interface does let me relive a bit of that fun!
