It took some time to interpret these results, but finally I worked out that
talks on the night will be:

Tom Stuart: ARel / Relational Algebra
James Adam: an exploration of why nobody needs to write any more test
frameworks
Gerhard Lazu: How do we suck in 480 books per second from Amazon's API using
Ruby via Redis into MongoDB
Jim Myhrberg: Redistat - https://github.com/jimeh/redistat
Roland Swingler: Arduino + Ruby
Ed Davey: ruby search systems (Sunspot, acts_as_ferret, ultraspinx,
thinking_sphinx, acts_as_solr, acts_as_xapian, xapit, raw mysql)
Ben Griffiths: BASIC interpreter - https://github.com/techbelly/BASIC
Chris Lowis: W3C Audio XG Group (audio + javascript)
Tom ten Thij: xpath + xpath use patterns in capybara

Hope everyone's happy with that.

I'll throw this up on LRUG.org, Lanyrd and pass it over to Skills Matter
over the weekend. The registration link should be along shortly.

Cheers,
