28c3 Day 3 + 4
A double entry for the days 3 and 4 of the 28c3, simply because the entry for day 3 would be rather short. The reason is simple that I caught the obligatory cold somewhere at the bcc, probable during one of the cash shifts and it more or less knocked me out that day.
Initially I wanted to attend the 0. Spakariade, just to gather some information about this post privacy thingy I did not really found time to consider yet. I heard it was a good event with interesting discussions over the topic but no trolling.
Alas, thanks to the cold the only event I did attend with a bunch of other people infront of one of the screens around Saal 1 was the Fnord-Jahresrückblick by Fefe and Frank Rieger (Abstract, Recording). It was a great fun, best enjoyed with others.
But I got enough sleep, tea and some other stuff to regenerate at least partly for day 4… good that I have reserved some free time at the beginning of the new year – something is always after the congress 
Brenno de Winter hold a really nice talk (again no slide show!) Changing techno-optimists by shaking up the bureaucrats (Abstract, Recording) about the things happened last year in the Netherlands. It’s worth watching, and I’m really sure that something like this can never happen in Germany! The talk was a constant OMG and WTF moment, one hour… that is a really bad story he told. Anyway it was fun… kind of.
Tear down started before the last round of talks and got amplified after the Security Nightmares, they talked a tiny little bit too long, and the Closing Event.
And then 28c3 was all over – too fast as usual. But it was a great fun, interesting topics and wonderful people. See you next year or at the C-Base for the after-show party later 
Edit (Jan 04 2012) There are now recordings available from the talks at 0. Spakariade
