At the QUEST conference in Chicago, April 22 2009, I gave a presentation on recording and reporting for exploratory testers. You can find the presentation notes here. You can also read a more formal paper on the subject, prepared for the 2007 Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference, here. Both documents include material on notebooks and on Session-Based Test Management, and a bunch of other stuff besides.

You can find an extensive list of presentations and courses that I've taught, including the slides and speaker notes for many of them, here.
Check out my schedule, and drop me a line if you'd like to get together when I'm in your part of the world. If you'd like me to work with you and it doesn't look like I'm available, remember that my clients' schedules are subject to change, so mine is too. Finally, note that some conferences offer discounts—and even if they don't advertise it, maybe we can work something out.

Fantastic presentation! I’m a QA Manager, and this is *really* going to help me. Also will be valuable to anyone (me sometimes, although thankfully not so much in the current job) when they are faced with “defending” how long it takes to do QA.
Thank you.
