Nice day of presentations at CodeMash.  My presentation went ok … but didn’t get into much code at all.  I think I need to change the Amazon v Azure talk to be either 2 hours or split it for 2 presentations so I can actually get to showing the code in both Amazon and Azure and not spend the majority of the time describing the parts of Amazon and Azure.
