That Unexpected Extra.
So, here I am at DefCon. I came because I've never been and wanted
to see what it's like. Another geek community to check out. I've kind of
come to the conclusion recently that my main purpose going to a conference
is to interact with the people. I've only orthogonal interest in going to
the presentations. To some extent, at least.
It's been made harder because they have seating for 1900 here at
DefCon, while they actually have over 4,000 attendees. It's been hard to
get in to see them. They're piping the video to the hotel cable system, so
you can watch the talks in your room, if you are staying here. That
actually works pretty well, but we aren't staying here.
Today, while I was chilling with the group here, a talk came on that
was totally relavent to some work that we've recently agreed to do for one
of our clients. They had some good information.
