It's all good - I think I speak for most folks here when I say that we're an easy-going bunch, and that you're welcome here.  Unix-hacker ponytail (w/optional beard) or not.

Besides, we all know that the measure of a true hacker is how well he/she can make vi do their bidding. :)

That video is in MPEG-3 format and I'll be darned if I can find a codec for it.

I had a ponytail once, but it was irritating. Same with a beard. I like short hair much better <g>.

Same here :-)  Long hair was too hot, also.

Nice, yes good finally to put a face with the name. Until now I'd just give out this picture of Walter, http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/8374/brightwf4jf.jpg

Decent presentation; I haven't finished watching yet, though. Great to have it online for others to benefit from.

If you are using Windows or Linux try MPlayer (http://mplayerhq.hu/); It works without installing codecs on the OS.

On Mac I've had better experiences with VLC (http://videolan.com).

That's just crazy talk :P.

First hit on the search for "Walter Bright @ NWCPP: Advanced D Programming Language Features" (the title of the video) is the page at nwcpp.org on the talk, which has the link to the slides at the bottom.

The search, for the lazy: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Walter+Bright+%40+NWCPP%3A+Advanced+D+Programming+Language+Features&btnG=Search

Just because it could have been even *easier* doesn't mean it's not easily found.

This does require them to actually *look* for it, though...

Ah, so maybe my mental image *was* right at one point ;)
