But in the meantime I was pretty tired of the smell of burning hemp rope, so I got the idea to cook lunch during the\u00a0lunch-session\u00a0on stage, while I was giving the rest of my presentation, on the main stage. It was an excellent opportunity to check \u201clive cooking on stage\u201d of my\u00a0bucket-list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many western&nbsp;European&nbsp;carnivores&nbsp;consider the smell of bacon on of the best smells in the world, so that was an easy choice. Also, you can still eat bacon&nbsp;no matter&nbsp;how burned it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bacon didn\u2019t fail. The smell filled the large hall in no time and people were soon wishing they had stayed in line for the lunch outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/jan.decoster.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-18.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jan.decoster.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-18.png 640w, https:\/\/jan.decoster.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-18-300x194.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The technical setup was very easy, because I choose to work&nbsp;independent&nbsp;from the internet connection at the venue, with my own WiFi router inside the burn unit. While I was at it, the router could also provide a &nbsp;connection between my presentation and the clicker in my phone.&nbsp;Off course&nbsp;I wasn\u2019t counting on 800 people trying to connect to the tiny D-link router, so I ended up walking back and&nbsp;forth&nbsp;to my mouse\u2026Another lesson learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first batch of bacon was \u201cdone\u201d in less then 10 minutes. Needless to say, and I have to credit my friend Marc for this next one, that it was \u201cSlightly OverDone\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2012 I was asked to give a presentation on the 22th of May at\u00a0Multi Mania 2012, by the\u00a0Adobe Usergroup Belgium.
