Yes that's a good point thanks, in general everything is already in a
git repository, now only in my dropbox but later I will make it
public.

Even the code that I should write there should already written anyway,
and to make sure everything is available I could use the save function
of IPython and add it to the repository...

In general I think that explaining code on a slide (if it involves
some new concepts in particular) it's better, but then showing what it
does it's always a plus.

It's not the same if you say this will go 10x faster than the previous
one, and showing that it actually does on your machine..
