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

[Jason Cale]

Hey --

Thanks Muz,

As mentioned on the website, I'm going to put down in an email what  
I'm hoping to touch on because, I hope this can serve as a learning  
experience as much for me as it is me talking about what I've done so  
far and have stumbled upon.

So discussion is mucho welcomed :)

Cheers,
Jase.
