Uploaded all my papers

And also a lot of powerpoint presentations that I made at conferences. These usually have full screen images as well as most of the text from the papers to which they belong. (I am lazy, I tend to read from my slides ;-). In some cases I only uploaded the presentation, a few of the papers are missing and some of the ones that I did have I still gave a miss altogether, but essentially it is all here at this page.
