Eric,

Last night was my first night attending one of the chirb meetings.
Thanks for presenting.  I know that it isn't easy to get up and
present something (on any topic) to a group, but I thought I would
provide some constructive criticism/feedback for future presentations.

Get keynote/powerpoint.  I don't know if the browser-based slides is a
philosophical thing or note, but I think the problems you had with
slides detracted from your presentation and were a distraction.  The
content of the slides themselves were actually nice and clean.

During the coding portion of the presentation you were flipping around
a lot and it was difficult to follow what you were doing.  I was using
xcode (I also have textmate) but it certainly didn't seem like
textmate made things any easier, just more confusing.

I liked the demo application you chose.  Very small, simple, and
entertaining.  I'm guessing that rubycocoa can take advantage of
bonjour-style service discovery stuff?  If that didn't add too much
code that would have been a really cool thing to add.

Thanks again.
