Nerd Food: Going Native

If, like me, you are into C++ and particularly C++11 you will want to watch Going Native 2012. I must say I had problems playing both the original live stream (in Silverlight) and the downloadable WMVs. The MP4s however work just fine. For convenience I created a list of wgettable URLs. You can replace the "low" bit of the URL with "med" or "high" depending on the desired resolution; I found the low perfectly watchable, but then again it seems I have pretty low sensitivity to video quality.
