If you use either of the Sociomantic live links he gave while the stream is live, that will show it to you. As for the archived stream, yes, you need the youtube video ids to view the pieces of that stream, as those videos are not public. They will be chopped up and made into public videos soon. If you can't wait, those archived stream ids have been posted in the General forum.

Re: DConf hackathon: idea list
In short I want Phobos to have an image library and long with it a windowing lib (but lets ignore that last part for now). I welcome people stealing and creating a competing ideas for anything in [0] and [1] that I have. Alternatively you can also create PR's for anything there as well. There is also [2] which is the start of my fixed-sized linear algebra library for game development. Of note is my managed memory concept, it needs a full rewrite. I have yet to be able to use it to its full power with its managers (e.g. data structure knowing when memory is ready to die). There is a serializer in[1] that could do with a couple of iterations in becoming faster and more feature full. I will try my best to be available via IRC and on the N.G. but well New Zealand time zones and all that. If you have any questions or want some assistance, hit me up! Now let's destruct these ideas.

When I publish the next one, I'll add a page to the blog with each post in the series linked under two categories: 'GC Fundamentals' and 'Memory Management Strategies'. Atila's post sits squarely in the latter. If you have a particular strategy you use for working with D's GC, please let me know and we can talk about a post (guest post or otherwise).
