I’m working on a powerpoint for my presentation on Wednesday… it was due last Friday. Here’s the message I get right now:
This is one of my great presentation fears, especially when I plan on going online (I usually have a ppt backup, but don’t want to get caught with this message when I plan on going online).

I’ve had this happen at least twice when doing a presentation on LinkedIn. Like you, I can go forward without it, and I’ve learned never to expect it to be up or moving a “normal speed” when it’s time to Go. I guess that’s unfortunate, but I guess I get what I pay for.

Me, too! I’ve learned to make screen shots of what I would have done on-line, and have them loaded up ready to go. With a little work, it can look almost as if we are live on-line.

Are You using google docs? That’s a great way to store a presentation. There’s also drop.io for more elaborate storage. Both Free.

You’ve been caught in one of the downsides of “cloud computing”. You give up control of the underlying infrastructure. While this can be good if you are not in a position to do it yourself it can come back to bite you when the cloud provider fails in their service.
