Everything Open

Tuesday, 16 April 2024

Gladstone, Australia

"The internet" has the same carbon impact as the airline industry. However, this number is probably much higher as it doesn't include a wide gamut of other impacts of application development and implementation, such as phone apps, desktop applications, or even the impact of websites and apps on users' own devices.

AI the docs

Wednesday, 3 April 2024

Online

Automated processes and tools have been reading our content for some time, building humongous databases of our carefully crafted words so people can actually find them buried across the vast swathes of the internet. And now, even more automated processes and machines are reading our content, packaging it into large models that make sense to few but bring sense to so many. A lot of you listening and watching right now are probably afraid of what might happen to your job prospects over the coming years, and I am here to show you how, for the short term, your work will be more valuable than ever. Just maybe less directly to human consumers than before.

Video consumption of information was already increasingly popular, and in the past year, video consumption and usage has accelerated. There's an increasing amount of video versions of blog posts, livestreaming of tutorials, online office hours, and much more. In this practical presentation I look at how technical communicators can use Open Broadcast Studio (OBS) to create instructional video content.

Interactive fiction (IF) occupies a curious middle ground between technical writing, programming, and creative writing. This presentation takes a look at the history of IF games, the tools used to create them across the decades, and how you can use your programming skills to tell stories.
