It was on the dak suite; which is a bunch of scripts used to manage
the ftp site, that happen to be named after models and actresses and
suchlike. We covered a number of the scripts in detail, and as a joke,
included pictures of the girls the rest were named after. That portion
of the talk just ended up as a soft-core slideshow though, and, to my
mind, didn't come off as particularly funny or enlightening at all. Mike
presented that section of the talk, so I wouldn't presume to justify
the presentation or apologise for it on his behalf.
Cheers,
