so chick it appears I'm available between 3-4 and 7:30-9 on friday. after
this I plan on probably not being sober so... and reb (sniff) won't be
around to cover my ass this year. and anytime after 9 I'll probably have
started drinking...

7-8:30 pm on saturday. I have a lot of conflicting events... during the day.
so we'll see where I end up.

sun 11- 1 and 2:30+

these are when I haven't planned anything, I know it's skimpy, but last year
I didn't do enough...

5:30 – 6:30 PM Ballroom A *Security and Psychology* *Bruce Schneier* Our

computer lounge and put it to good use. The Lounge will be providing CD's

open source CD/DVD burning station.

1 to 2 PM Ballroom C *Live Action Customizable Meta-Chess* *Matt
Arnold*Gird yourself with a sandwich sign, take up your polearm, and
sally forth
onto the checkerboard taped on the floor, in search of gold and glory! The
object of this human-sized chesslike game is to capture the crowns of the
Kings of both parties of chess pieces. It can be won with chess tactics, or
resource management, or diplomacy. Work together to capture whoever is the
current King of the opposing party. But only do that in such a way that you
are set up to backstab each other for one individual to wear both crowns!
Watch out, the surviving members of the other party of adventurers can take
their crown back! Will the two parties of adventurers work as a team to
protect their crown, or will they munchkin in an attempt to keep it for
themselves? Google "chesslarp" for full instructions.


4-5:30PM Birch *Fencing Demo* *Bob Scheltema, Brandon Scheltema *Witness
some non-choreographed, steel sword combat and you might just learn what
Inigo Montoya and the Man in Black were talking about in The Princess Bride.
The fencing demonstration (fencing, the art of defense, or from the German
Fechten, to fight) will include discussions about the growing Western
Marital Arts combat movement. Learn the fighting styles of the Italian
Masters of Defense (Bonetti, Capo Ferro, Agrippa), along with the combat
philosophies of the Spanish (Thibault), German and English schools. Western
Marital Arts combat includes rapier, longsword, basket hilt and good old
wrestling and kicking.

circle, two swords… don't cross the line.

hero. Except, of course, the bad guys…

1-2:30PM Ballroom A *The 64-bit Transition: Taking Advantage Of The End Of
32-Bit Windows* *Eric Raymond, Rob Landley* Just as the 386 spelled the end
of 16-bit DOS, new 64-bit processors spell the end of 32-bit Windows. A
30-year timeline based on Moore's Law predicted that the new hardware
platform would arrive in 2005 (it did), and the new software platform will
become entrenched in 2008. Why is this so, what are the three current
contenders for the throne, and what properties will determine the new
operating system standard?
