            –  CamelCaseSmackdown
            –  cron backups
            –  added project module, but no SVN support yet
    –  titus
        –  investigated biojava, a java API for biology

DragonCon 2005

September 1st, 2005 by

Just wanted to remind everyone that DragonCon 2005 is this weekend, from September 2nd through September 5th. DragonCon is America’s largest, multi-media, popular arts convention — focusing on science fiction and fantasy, gaming, comics, literature, art, music, and film. Of particular interest to AtlHack folks may be the Electronic Frontiers Georgia panel, whose 2005 Program Schedule includes presentations on Internet privacy, peer-to-peer communications, the DMCA, and more. I attended last year at DragonCon 2004, and intend to do so again. See you there!
