Merlyn,
I hope you don't mind the little modification I made to your page. I thought I'd match up the formatting for our praxis pages with the rest of deoxy's formatting, as best as I could. I also moved your toc to the top right. Let me know what you think about it! Feel free to change it back ;) Don't mean to step on any toes :)

The changes are fine with me. I think the table is good at the right. If you have any feedback on how the page works with the audio, please feel free to post it.

SQUEEEK
The Praxis event went ahead. Not many people logged on for the streamed talk, a few more for the question and answer session. In the future we could try and make more people aware of PraxisEvents. A barrier to participation may be ventrillo. Perhaps introduce ventrillo separately from Praxis. Introduce ventrillo first. Then introduce the combination of vent + irc, then praxis which is vent + irc + streaming audio + some focus. an event.
Glandmaster suggested making people aware of praxis on sites other than deoxy. first i think we could try deoxy saturation, if that is acceptable. the reaction we may want is : "shut up about praxis" rather than "praxis, huh ? wiki ? what's that "
I thought the combination of streaming audio + irc was very good. comments and relevant links could be added as the talk went along in real time. quite amazing. as glandmaster said, imagine you could watch a film and do that. the technology is available, we just have to be more intelligent about using it.

i would have attended if i knew how to properly convert the time. i'm not very smart. i thought the talk itself was top-notch though. way to go, merl! i agree with you regarding both the mechanics of praxis and advertising the event. just my five cents. looking forward to the next praxis...

No problem groucho. Since this was the first event and there wasn't a large audience it was suggested that we could do it again if there is sufficient interest. It was thought that choosing Saturday afternoon/evening could have been part of the reason there wern't many people logged on. Also groucho has pointed out that we could post the times in different time zones.
Anyone who is interested in a repeat of Praxis/Qabalah please post here to make your interest known. Also anyone who posts could include a time and day that they would prefer and we can see if any days are particularly popular or unpopular.
