Good that I brought it up then :).

Anyone want to volunteer for next week?

I think we want something that at MOST takes 5 minutes to cover.

Maybe have a slide or three. The presenter could send it to Alan before
the meeting and he can have it ready for the presenter on the presentation
box.

Eventually I will cover how to securely create temporary files in shell (
unless someone else wants to take it ), but not next week.

I would think java, perl, php, python, ruby and c/c++ would all be of more
interest than shell anyway :).

ciao,
