[Chicago] Lightning talks for the win

[Robare, Phil]

 Yes, I think you missed a good one.  No one really had slides.  Jason
showed code, as did Ian, and the other three used the whiteboard.  Ian
was typing in perfect code showing what the interpreter did with it at
an unbelievably fast rate - made a good presentation.  Only when a
syntax error resulted in the interpreter continuing to give back proper
results did he admit that he was running a program that merely listened
for a key hit and put up the next character from a pre-existing text
file.  It was hilarious.  He then went on to 'type' the rest of his
presentation with the space bar.

And thanks to Chris for the good discussion about PyCon 2008.  I'm
looking forward to it.

Phil
