I have written up a model of my “Unconventional Influences” keynote from Eurostar 2012, it has the times when I think I should have mentioned certain things, and it has links to references that I hopefully referred to, at the time when I scheduled the reference.
It may not make sense out of context, but if you attended then this may help you follow up on the sources of my influences.
