After coffee...
That's better, Mike is now doing more examples rather than just ploughing through the PowerPoint slides, it all makes alot more sense now that I can see how it works in practice. It's all still a little dry though, I think he's tried to pack way too much into this tutorial. Despite the title Mike is giving a fairly high level overview, whereas I think would have appreciated a "get your hands dirty" introduction where not so much got covered, but you definately ended up knowing how to do the simple stuff.
