Hi Nick,

Thanks for volunteering!  Unfortunately your timing is a little off as
Andrew Stewart talked about this very subject at the last meeting so I think
it might be a bit too soon to revisit the area.  Unless, of course, we
change our name to LAPFRUG (London Asynchronous Processing For Ruby User
Group), which, admittedly does have a certain ring to it ;)  Maybe some
other time?

For anyone else with a long talk / demo / whatever up their sleeve, we've
now got 6 folk signed up to show'n'tell, so the meeting can probably only
support another of these shortish show'n'tells not a longer talk.  However,
don't let that stop you volunteering yourself for a future meeting.
