In 2005 I have been to the “What The Hack” event near Boxtel… Yes, a hackers event. And before anyone gets strange thoughts, I am not hacker… at least not in the sense the media uses this word. For the media a hacker is someone who breaks into computer networks and does damage…. sure, there are people who do that. There are script kiddies who spread scripts that can do damage and there people who break into computer networks to do damage or for their own profit. But most hackers don’t…
Most hackers are people who have a strong desire to understand things to the deepest level. Nothing more then that, nothing less then that. It is about knowledge and nothing more as that.
Anyway, as said in 2005 I have been at the “What The Hack” event. It was great to be there, learned a lot. Had some great discussions. As people may know, privacy is an important item for me. Many of the discussions at WTH where about that subject and in the hackers community this concern about privacy lives very strongly.
Also I met some very great people. And that is it is about most for me, meeting interesting people.
And now for 2009 is announced… “Hacking at Random”. Big change I will be there!!
BTW these event are supported and managed by one of the biggest Internet Providers of The Netherlands… XS4ALL. One of the reasons I am a loyal customer of them 🙂
You are quick, almost as fast as me to publish this..
Time for another retro village?
Cu at HAR2009 (and before that ;-))
Maybe indeed time for another retro village. I loved how the people gazed at all the old Sinclair and Amiga’s :).
And I hope to meet you before HAR2009!!!!
oke, XS4all… these guys are really killing me. no internet for 2 weeks and a helpdesk that is not accessible. It’s to busy right now, please call back later. The line will be disconnected. peep peep peep.
But besides that 😀
I would realy like to join you on HAR2009.
Uhh? I just needed them 2 days ago because I messed something up on my shell account. Was helped within 10 minutes. Hmmm… must be the place where you are living 😛
Anyway, as far it concerns me you are welcome at har2009. Just keep an eye on the wiki 🙂
Did you notice that the HAR2009 wiki site is WordPress 😀
Yes, I did notice that 😛
Currently I am also playing around with Gallery. A open source solution for photo-sites. Looks very interesting!
