[LRUG] November meeting - what'll we do this time?

[Murray Steele]

So... http://lrug.org/meetings/2008/10/29/november-2008-meeting/

James Darling has been cajoled into doing a short talk on a record player ->
shazam -> packet sniffing -> last.fm api hack that he did.  That still
leaves us with plenty of time for other things tho'.  Anyone else got
stuff?  Lots of short "here's something neat I did" talks would be cool.
