Sticker propaganda

I spent the morning giving a talk to my daughter's school class on "What does daddy do for work?". Actually it was more about programming and what skills are important for programming. I didn't really have any nice work swag (I think the only thing we ever had was laser pointers, and I'm pretty sure the teacher wouldn't appreciate that), but I had some sweet stickers that I had pocketed at UTOSC and gave those out. I wonder what the parents will say if they see their kid with a Richard Stallman sticker.

On a side note, I used my rst2odp code to create the picture friendly presentation. The code now supports lists, titles, basic text and images (I guess I should put it up somewhere). Debugging is kind of a pain, because OOo is so lenient, it doesn't really complain (I wish there was a strict-compliance mode). But I shouldn't complain too loudly since debugging an xml file is much better than a binary file.
