Berlin break

A vacant flat, a tip from Nico­laj and a promise to myself to take more time off: I’ll be at the 22C3, CCC’s annual Con­gres in Berlin.

The 22nd Chaos Com­mu­ni­ca­tion Con­gress (22C3) is a four-day con­fer­ence on tech­nol­ogy, soci­ety and utopia. The Con­gress offers lec­tures and work­shops on a mul­ti­tude of top­ics includ­ing (but not lim­ited to) infor­ma­tion tech­nol­ogy, IT-security, inter­net, cryp­tog­ra­phy and gen­er­ally a critical-creative atti­tude towards tech­nol­ogy and the dis­cus­sion about the effects of tech­no­log­i­cal advances on society.

I’ll be catch­ing a bus from my christ­mas get­away on won­der­ful Lol­land and fly­ing back on Decem­ber 30. Hope­fully I’ll get time to think and find a bal­ance between attent­ing the con­fer­ence and hang­ing out with a lap­top and some of the projects I’ve been neglect­ing for the past month.

In related news, we did a silent ‘launch’ over at blogtid.dk (link added to the mess that is my ‘involve­ment side­bar’) — the plan is to pro­vide a decent alter­na­tive to avistid.dk which shouldn’t be too hard.

If you’re in Berlin between christ­mas and new year for one rea­son or another, ping me.
