Yes, while I think "fun" might not be the first word that comes to mind it certainly feels good to have tried participating in a meet up from the other side of things.<div><br></div><div>I've stuck my slides up on scribd: <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/14521535/Slides-from-LRUG-Monday-20th-April-2009-Abstracting-and-modularising-Rails-views-using-Ruby-blocks">http://www.scribd.com/doc/14521535/Slides-from-LRUG-Monday-20th-April-2009-Abstracting-and-modularising-Rails-views-using-Ruby-blocks</a></div>

Thank you all for a great evening yesterday -- I had fun giving a rather frantic live demo of the invoicing gem, the other two speakers had interesting things to show, and there were lots of good conversations afterwards in the pub.<br>
<br>
I've been asked to put my talk online; I didn't have slides, but I wrote myself notes of the things I wanted to demo, and I have put them here in case you want to follow them along at your own pace:<br>
<a href="http://ept.github.com/invoicing/2009/04/21/invoicing-0-2-generator.html" target="_blank">http://ept.github.com/invoicing/2009/04/21/invoicing-0-2-generator.html</a><br>
<br>
And you can find a general intro to the gem at:<br>
<a href="http://ept.github.com/invoicing/" target="_blank">http://ept.github.com/invoicing/</a><br>
<br>
Jon and Paul, could you also put your slides up somewhere? I liked your talks and it would be good to be able to refer back to them.<br>
<br>
As to the invoicing gem, if you think something like this might be useful in any of your projects, please do drop me a line -- I want to make this into something which is really useful to a lot of people, and knowing how it fits into your projects will help steer further development in the right direction. I'm just doing this in my spare time but it's good for the motivation if I know that people are interested in what I'm doing.<br>
<br>
Also, if you want to do me a favour in return for the weeks I've spent developing the invoicing gem already, please help spread the word -- blog it, tweet it (#invgem hashtag), tell your friends about it... :-)<br>
<br>
Thanks and see you again next month!<br>
Martin<br>
