You can find a (cut down) copy of the conference CD with slides etc
here:
http://www.kanga.nu/MDC/cdrom.2003/
John Arras' section can be found here:
http://www.kanga.nu/MDC/cdrom.2003/#arras_generated
The only differences between that tree and the "real" CD are that the
session tracks and missing and the real CD contains a full copy of the
MUD-Dev archives (not that anybody has asked for that latter).
