[sclug] Free Beer! Burger Celebration!

[Chris Aitken]

Some of the topics that were discussed (atleast on the table that I was on):

dSLRs: Why can't they make a *proper* 35mm sized sensor. Or any size.
Digibacks are available for 6x4.5cm cameras, with a sensor size of 3.88x5cm.
Why!

CSS: Can be a headache to work out what you're applying the style too. Use
borders for testing.

Mono: What is it? [1] Open source verison of .Net framework. A framework
must be installed (either mono or .Net) for the apps to run. Generally coded
in C#, although VB.Net, J# and many other languages are available. Mono runs
on Windows/Linux/OS X/BSD/Solaris, and on the
x86,PPC,SPARC,S390,x86-64,IA64.

Looks like a good way to create cross platfom apps - not just command line
apps, but 'windows' apps, to be run in your GUI of choice, on your platform
of choice. C# is an ECMA standard.

I'm sure someone else will fill in the gaps!
