I can't make this so I hope it's a regular event. Sounds just my sort of thing... Your computer programmers of the night will be Matt B-M and Simon Automatic. I hadn't heard of Cafe Cairo before but sounds worth a visit whoever is on. Here's what the Open Guide To London has to say about it.

The Cafe Cairo is an exotic and wonderful place, known by few but loved by all who frequent it. It's a tea and coffee house that combines an upstairs in the best tradition of the Middle East with a basement of a much more modern, Western style. The cafe sells freshly made fruit cocktails and "smoothies", and teas and coffees of various impeccable pedigrees, as well as offering [shisha] (aka narghile, hubble-bubble, hookah) pipes and a range of flavoured tobaccos to smoke in them. Alcohol is not on offer here.

The crown jewel of this establishment must be the back room: a long, warm place, with a tented roof and wall hangings, gentle lanterns to illuminate it, low wooden benches with numerous cushions and Arabic or Arabic-flavoured music playing - a faithful representation of a Middle Eastern coffee tent. The atmosphere is comfortable and friendly, and the air is full of the aromas of coffee, tea, and smoke. People tend to settle in here and stay for a long time, so you might need to get in early if you want somewhere to sit.
