Phreaknic was a blast this past weekend! I’ve been attending and speaking there for 8 years now and while Halloween certainly cut into attendance this year there were some awesome presentations. Famulus‘s talk complete with pictures and video of his quest to build a functional Bussard fusion reactor was amazing. Adrian Crenshaw gave a great overview of the various anonymizing networks and darknets out there including some of the work Matt Wood and I did on Veiled. Finally Azureus‘s Tyler Pitchford gave a highly entertaining talk on reverse engineering. His best line? “And now you are on the NOP sled! Wheeeee!”
I spoke last on Friday night and presented on web performance. As usually I ran long but I was getting some excellent questions from the audience. You can download the slides from my presentation, Optimizing Web Performance, on Zoompf.com.
