Lucene at Sydney GeekNight

I gave a Lucene presentation to the Sydney GeekNight/SyXPAC group on Monday. Apparently I was quite enthusiastic; which is not that surprising given the atmosbeer and my propensity to do a little hand-waving when presenting. And if your Lucene queries don’t execute in under 16ms, well, just blame the beer and not me. :D

I took a quick photo with my phone1. It sums up the whole GeekNight thing nicely. Oh, and I’ve only just realized how SyXPAC should be pronounced… LOL.

We had a good turn out, and you gotta love the Squires. Will have to make the effort to drive down and attend more regularly.

1 Now that is a sentence that would not have made any sense a few years ago.

    I couldn’t download the presentation slides from the SyXpAC wiki. Is there some other way to get the slides.
