Another Plone skillswap
This post was written 5 years ago.

I have volunteered to give another Plone related skillswap at the Watershed in Bristol (UK), on 16th January. The previous one (a general plone demo) went down well, and this time I am going to cover the basics of skinning a plone site, from basic Through The Web (TTW) customisation, to creating an installable skin product. I think it will be streamed live - check here for details. If you are in the Bristol area come along (it's free)!
I am going to rig up a device that gives me an electric shock every time I say the word "umm..", to train me up abit better for this public speaking lark..

Find a Toastmasters club near you , (Bristol Toastmasters club) to improve your public speaking.

Interesting but a bit drastic. There was a guy who tried something like that with a wrist watch back in the 60's. He wanted a little shock, not much more than a watch battery back then would provide. He woke up dead or didn't wake up as the case may be.
There are better ways to reprogram the brain. Some will even argue that you can use the and-uhs to sound natural. The best is to just slow down, have a pause to allow what you said to sink in, and let the thoughts flow.
Best wishes and how ever you may fare, may you fare well.
