All,

To give a fuller update we currently have 3 talks and 3 other possible
talks.  The talks are:

Matt - Fun with Text Editors
Neil - Perl and web spidering
Mark - Introduction to Unicode

I hope to be able to confirm the other talks later on in the week so
we'll have a total of 6 all being well.

As I've mentioned Stephen has been able to get us a projector, many
thanks for that.  I'll confirm more details later on during the week and
update the relevant parts of the website.

It's still not too late to put your name down for a talk, please get in
touch if you want to do something, all topics welcome.  In fact I'd
welcome people on the night as long as you have your talk on a USB key
and it doesn't take too long.

Any questions?

Cheers,

Matt
