Martin KennyAn #introduction post.
Hi, I'm Marty. I'm an #introverted #actuallyAutistic developer from Adelaide, South Australia. I started playing with electronics in the early '70s, built my own computers during the late '70s and early '80s, and have been programming ever since.
These days I do a lot of iOS, macOS, and Android programming. Along with my son, I'm building an iOS game, a macOS weather app, and lots of internal-only projects.
I was previously @marty.

A lot of people think I’m unhappy because I’m quiet. I'm not unhappy - I just appreciate silence in a world that never stops talking…

Traveling OSM Salesperson Problem ✊🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦Three common mistakes I’ve seen #FOSS people and other #introverted geeks make in #PublicSpeaking…well, as an introverted #FreeSoftware geek myself, these also things I have to keep in mind when I speak.
Slow…down. Speak at a consistent, slow speed. This ensures people don’t miss things, you get time to think, and people get time to absorb the information.
Speak loudly. There’s a limit to how much the microphone will do for you. Sometimes you won’t even have a microphone (e.g. when hosting outdoor #OpenStreetMap mapping parties) - learn to make yourself heard without one.
Don’t trail off. End your sentences with a consistent volume and pitch.
So how slow, and how loud? In a lot of cases I’d say WAY slower than what you call slow, and WAY louder than what you call loud 😅
There’s more, but this is the foundation of any talk. The best content in the world means nothing if it doesn’t actually reach your audience.
A lot of this is useful in everyday life too. Start practicing! 🙂

Garbatronic_EsGODI'm approaching 50 without having had a girlfriend. #Bachelor. I'm looking for a detailed, scientific explanation as to why. #PersonalResearch. Possible reasons include my #Introverted personality, social anxiety, #Anxiety, or career-focused #Entrepreneur. Why does no one seem interested in me? #Rejection. Lack of emotional connection? #EmotionalConnection. Incompatibility in values or interests? #Compatibility. A deeper evaluation might reveal answers. #SelfDiscovery.
