Cool stuff
BrumCon is a semi regular (ok regular) event organised by Brum2600 regulars, featuring a
wide variety of talks, discussion, demos and most importantly, alcohol. Incorrectly
but neatly dubbed a 'blackhat thinktank' by NTK (www.ntk.net),
The
Register - 'We have your water supply, and printers', BBC Midlands Today -
'Spooky' and by you lot as the UK's biggest underground Hacker con.
We welcome all kinds of phreaks, geeks and other technologically interested
people from all sides of the fence (as long as hats, badges and warrants are
left at the door).
The entrance fee this year again stays at 5 UK Pounds per delegate (Again F M how do
we do it ?). This year by request we are introducing a corporate pack that
includes entrance, T-shirt and receipt all for an amazingly low price
