Hiya! I'm an over-the-road #trucker, originally from the #Midwest. I'm gay as fuck, (still) single as fuck. When I'm not criss-crossing the country, I like to explore #technology (I'm a #Mac, but also #Ubuntu,) eat lots of comfort food, take in a #baseball or #hockey game, and other random things including visiting #Canada often. I'm a bit reserved and #introverted, and like to enjoy things at my own pace. I'm trying. I sometimes pretend I'm a #coyote. #introduction

An #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…

“Introverted figure in a small boat sailing across a cosmic ocean, stars and dreams reflecting in the water, surrounded by silence and infinite sky — whimsical, magical realism, soft brushwork, emotional depth”

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! 🙂
