[clug] Torrents for Jamie's talk on Thursday

[Stephen Gibson]

No joy with vlc and no error messages.

Other system ogv files play fine.  Perhaps, Owen's file is corrupt?
It was fetched using wget.

CLUG_2012-08_Jamie-Carl_MongoDB_small.ogv

The file size reported by ls -l:   48802335

md5sum:    dcdb514151b2ce4203e7b7a0d6a195ec

Steve.
