L. Peter Deutsch on 50 years of software

Tuesday morning at SPA 2008, and it's time for another keynote - this time with Peter Deutsch. While I've interacted with Peter on and off over the years on Smalltalk mailing lists, I hadn't met him in person before this conference, so it's been nice to be able to put a face with the name and personality.

As with yesterday's panel, I'm filming the discussion, so I won't be following every bit here in this post. However, here's the url Peter references for the presentation:

Heh - with such a rich background to draw on, Peter has only hit on two of his 8 points by the halfway mark in his talk. Doesn't matter, really - it's an interesting talk. You'll be able to see it (or listen to the audio only) when I post it.

Update: Looks like the link is bad; Peter has informed us that it will work after the conference, when he gets back to his office.
