Battling technical issues

Ray Tsang: Yes, there have been a few times when the adapter was faulty, but I didn't figure that out until, say, 20 minutes in. One time, the screen was projected and it just went off, then after about five minutes it came back on. We had no idea why that was happening. There was nothing I could do. I couldn't really just stop, so I tried to talk through the concepts and do as much as I could.

As you know, I do a lot of live demos. If I can't do live demos, I have to talk through the concepts in more detail and that becomes a very difficult thing to do.

There was another time when I had to do the entire presentation from the back because the connection in the front didn't work, so there was no way for me to project my screen. I actually had to, after about 10 minutes of introduction, run to the back of the room, and sit right next to the A/V people.

If there's a complete outage of Internet, then what can you do? Life...
