There's some cosmic irony in putting a presentation about good UI on Slideshare. When a slide doesn't load - which happened to me at least five times already - do they try again? Nope, tells you to reload the page, and hope you memorized the page number or you'll have to go by trial and error.

EDIT: Not the mention the excellent kerning: http://i.imgur.com/1yEya.png

I put the same slides on SpeakerDeck. They will be available shortly here: http://speakerdeck.com/u/wolfr . Alternatively you can download the presentation in PDF format from SlideShare too.

I re-saved some of the slides to display a static JPG, the parsing of the PDF seems to cause some problems. I just tested it and could go through the 120 slides without problems now.

It's a bit of a pain, yeah.

Thank you. The presentation was great, but Slideshare annoys me immensely. And I couldn't download the PDF; for some reason, the grey overlay appeared but nothing else happened. This may be related to NoScript, though, despite having allowed their domains.
