JavaDuke's Journal: linux.conf.au 2002

Phew!

Just now recovering from the conference... and I had to limit my interactions. I spoke to next to no one and didn't even stay the full time the first few day. Wish I had the mental power to interact, but if I had, I would have been down big time by the second day and would have missed the inspiration.

Highlights -

• Rusty Russell, especially the kernel hacking tute.
• Tridge and Jeremy's 10 years of Samba. (They got the encryption key how?!?)
• Slashcode (sorry we didn't get the one on one presentation ;).
• Computing Fallacies.
• Just seeing what the creator of Enlightment is like.
• Ted's 10 years of Linux (which contradicted Computer Fallacies, to some small extent.)

It was very enjoyable. And yet I walk away with something niggling at the back of my mind. Maybe someday it will work its way out...
