greeeg 460 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 It's an interesting topic, but it starts at 3am Guess my coffee machine will get heavy use this evening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobnova 59 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Registered. This is a subject that I've an interest in anyway, so double-win. Thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Just to make you all aware( so that you don't have to keep up late )... they will randomly select winners from participants. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,265 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I registered, definitely curious to see what they have to say! Energy harvesting (and solar for that matter) is to me a high-value subject that I just haven't had the time or specific application to "dive" into yet... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Energy harvesting (and solar for that matter) is to me a high-value subject that I just haven't had the time or specific application to "dive" into yet... That was .... a pretty dry presentation. Could almost sense the "script fatigue" in the presenter's voice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
enl 227 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Not a bad presentation. Seen a lot drier in a webinar (like the dozen or so compliance ones I have to view at work every year), and seen better. A bit of fresh info, but not a lot for someone who follows the related TI tech updates, a none of the devices/technologies discussed are new release. Nice to be able to submit questions, tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobnova 59 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I hadn't checked out TI's energy scavenging boost converters previously, so that was interesting. Overall, awfully dry and scripted. The Q/A box never went live for me. I'll rate it as vaguely interesting, but I wouldn't have sat through it without the potential bribes I don't think. Seemed like it was mostly aimed at marketing. spirilis 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner84 466 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I didn't attend, no way I'd be able to visit a seminar right in the middle of going-to-bed time for my kids. I haven't missed that much, I figure when reading the above comments... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rei Vilo 695 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The presentation was good and covered key components around the MCU we aren't so familiar with. Unfortunately, sound was so poor it was hardly understandable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yeah, this sounds like listening to shortwave radio from a foreign country. Sadly, there is no passion exhibited by the presenter. At least the radio preachers on shortwave slam the pulpit occasionally. I am playing dubstep and trance music for accompaniment. spirilis and tripwire 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kodi 16 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Audio quality was horrible, but topic interesting. BTW: they moved the deadline to 9/30 (probably they didn't gather a 100 listeners ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Wow. That delivery was enough to make you feel depressed. I almost expected to hear him say "Kill me. Kill me now. You'd be doing me a favour." spirilis 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Anyone else getting spammed to complete surveys by UBM Tech since viewing the webinar? It's definitely due to this as it's the only thing I've used that particular email address for (and there's a tiny UBM logo in the top right). Unsubscribing has no effect. I'd suggest avoiding this webinar if you were considering it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
