Just Back from Defcon

[eric oyen]

this is the nice thing about imaged backups. That and the liberal use of dd. :)

as for some of the people at DEFCON, I believe the term is "creepy". Well, I know that behavior as I used to exhibit some of it myself. The reason I say "used to" is because I have done a lot of growing up over the last 5 years.

Now, if I can just convince Theo and company over at OpenBSD to make a blind friendly version of the OpenBSD installer (like including BrlTTY). Then I might Have a very hard to hack laptop. :)

anyway, glad you had fun (wish I could have been there myself).
