Got it from the Zource, so we're good to go.

Hey, everybody gets busy at times. I never thought that a full day of
physical labor would make me feel so wiped out, but I've been dragging for
the last 3 weeks working my current job.

Well, I have a thought that might help there. As part of the website
upgrade, why not have the system send out an e-mail midway in the
preceding month to the speaker requesting an abstract? It'd be easy to do
that, I think.

Okey dokey, I'll stick it on the website.

You can put me down for "Stupid Gimp Tricks" in July, although I'm sorta
hesitant about getting that down to a half hour. I can always just go from
one Script-Fu to another, which, if nothing else, can produce some
entertaining results. That and run the Gee-Zoom plugin for a minute. ;-)
