Hah, very true. Thanks guys. It was a bit of a mess and I had no talk
prepared but thankfully the live demo worked. Completely un-tested or
prepared hehe :)

I said I'd post links related to the talk for those interested. Here you go:

- The guide I used to compile DarkIce for the Pi with MP3 support -

- NOOBS for Raspberry Pi, for those getting a Pi and wanting and easy
way to set it up. This makes it trivial -

- The Pi Ladder volume meter project -

- The USB audio card I used -

I will keep you up to date with progress. As I mentioned last night the
next stage will be some hardware hacking with the ladder, some nice
fruit machine style buttons and putting it all in a decent case. I'm
thinking an old ice cream tub or a shoe box will work from prototyping.
One of those classic VU meters with a needle for the volume would be
epic, but that's some way off.

I don't really know how to do any of this stuff at the moment but it's
all an adventure. If free time allows me I'll get it all to work one day :)

Thanks for listening and to so many of you for turning up and waiting
till we could get into the room.

Take it easy,

Dan
