I don't have a bucket list. Nothing that is documented at least. But yes there are a few things I want to do before I kick the bucket. One of the things on that list as I remember saying it to a friend was 'To give a good talk in front of an intelligent audience'. Last week I had the opportunity to do just that. It was a big event open for anyone to attend and it went ok. 'Ok' being not too good not too bad. The turn out was poor plus mine being the last talk people were losing interest, I had to rush through the presentation and hurry up. I hadn't really volunteered to do this and I hadn't done any of the hard work. It was a good opportunity that had come by, I just took it up.
Technically though, it was a good talk and even if there were very few people who attended I'd like to believe they were intelligent. So thats one thing off my list. Given the kind of inactivity this year has seen this also gives me something to blog about. So there.

What was the topic of presentation?
I hate disinterest of any kind while I'm in the middle of a lecture/presentation. The only good part about the audience being students is that I can tell them to 'Quit yapping there in the back row or else you'll live to regret it'
:D
rinchen, how do you do it everyday? Preparing for one talk was taxing! The talk was on my company's competancy on google code(apis).
Hahaha... I've just learnt to develop an acid tongue after staring daggers dont work no more :P
I adore people who pay attention and instantly dislike those who dont. :D

raven, Ah yeah, though it didnt feel like hard work. This isnt what I had in mind, I hope to out do this one, talk on a topic that interests me more and something that I have worked on preferably.
one guy in my team took a pic..i haven't seen it, let me check with him..
Great :) I know if you are saying that it went "okay" it must have been better than that.
