Agreed - a very enjoyable talk Gavin - Well done - I was especially
impressed with your mastery of the stylophone ;)

Steve - I accept the challenge of a MythTV presentation....  Sounds like
fun....  Are you able to bring your MythTV backend in, as there will be
a mutiny in my house should I try and take mine down!

I have another talk I'd like to do at some point as well - using Midge
on a BR6104KP (http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/BR6104) to do backups -
that will be more hands on, and its not yet working properly, so might
take a while to get this one locked down.

Cheers,

Richi
