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.

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.

As usual you gave an excellent talk.
I couldn’t download the presentation slides from the SyXpAC wiki. Is there some other way to get the slides.
Peter, I’ve copied the slides to http://www.madbean.com/blog/2004/23/lucene.pdf
