   At least concerning the April 2nd talk I gave on the Linux 2.6 kernel:

      - This part you likely know already because I had posted to the list...
        The slides are all up in the page for the April meeting, along
        with the handout.  They were up within a day or two of the talk.
        The other location where I've put these files is at:
            ftp://ftp.coredump.us/kernel-talk_04-02-2008/

      - I did make an audio recording of the talk, but the audio level
        seems a bit low, and I was a bit more nervous at the talk than I had
        expected I'd be.  (What else is new.)  Hopefully none of you noticed
        that I was having an out-of-body experience up there.  :-P  I haven't
        had time to fully review the audio (okay, I admit it, I've been
        avoiding it too because I don't like hearing myself talk, but I've
        also been very busy), but after I review it, if I find I can tolerate
        it I'll put it up.

      - I attempted to make a "video recording" using 'krecordmydesktop' of
        the talk, but at the end I forgot to close the video.  Ooops.  However
        I had changed the default location of the temp directory to save the
        OGG video to, so I acutally have the video (I think), but it needs to
        be edited to crop it to size; unfortunately the laptop display was at
        1280x1024 and the external projected video output was 1024x768 and is
        centered in the laptop display.  i.e. The two displays do not meet at
        the top left corner.  Plus this video is separate from the audio, and
        they need to be combined, and I have zero experience working with
        digital video.

   And of course I said a few things that I've since found out were wrong.  
Phhht.  :-P  But I suppose that was inevitable.
   Anyway that's at least where the stuff for my talk is currently at.
