We will give a short talk detailing how we set up the network, brought high-speed Internet to the farm, and delivered wired and wirelessly across the site. Particularly we'll talk about what we did differently this time around, what went well, what proved more of a hurdle than expected, and finally we'll go through some stats on how the network was used. about this event: https://c3voc.de

John Conway created/discovered the Surreal Numbers (along with the game of life cellular automaton) while pondering the game of Go. They include all the reals and rationals you probably know but also infinite and infinitesimal values, lots of them. Combinatorial Game Theory is an additive theory of games with perfect information and no chance element. Fortunately, though it touches on things at the core of Mathematics, it requires almost no other concepts to understand it It turns out some Games are Numbers, however any Game that is interesting enough to be worth playing is not a Number. We need a new language to describe them (whence Uppitiness, Atomic Weight and Chilling). We will find out how to play the Nim perfectly, realise Dots and Boxes has more to it than you thought, play Col, Snort and Cutcake, understand the Tweedledee and Tweedledum argument, learn Hackenbush and maybe begin to analyse Go and chess end games. about this event: https://c3voc.de

Join Jos Weyers, Warren Rockley, Nigel Tolley and John Naughton as they answer your questions on anything lock and physical security related. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A showing of the science fiction film that has been filmed around the EMF site during the event, along with a Q&A with the team. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A talk about Disney's four keys (Safety, Courtesy, Efficiency, Show), giving examples of how Disney uses them in building their parks, and how we apply them to web development. about this event: https://c3voc.de

How TiLDA MKe went from a list of Ideas the week before EMW, to epaper and finally the to the badge around your neck. With all the bumps along the way. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A talk about how biometrics are not always secure, & the security systems are often poorly implemented. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A exploration into current techniques malicious hackers use to evade anti-virus systems, presented in a way that less technical attendees can still enjoy whilst containing enough detail to keep more experienced viewers interested. about this event: https://c3voc.de

Inclusive and collaborative space projects for the techy, creative and curious and where to get started. about this event: https://c3voc.de

This summer I went on holiday on a container ship, so this talk will be a slideshow of my holiday photos. I'll also go on tangents about supply chains, Shenzhen, shipping containers, rare earth metal mines, GPS, and that kind of thing. about this event: https://c3voc.de

This presentation will discuss the extreme vulnerability that most people have to being stalked online and then focusing on a few examples of research going on in universities on network inference. The purpose of this talk is to shed light on the topic of social network inference and show yet another application of machine learning. about this event: https://c3voc.de

We have written USBProxy, an open source software tool targeted at cheap hardware, such as the BeagleBone Black, which allows us to build, explore and break USB devices with simple software. I will show how we can use USBProxy to monitor and debug USB connections and how we can build a USB device in software using £35 of hardware. about this event: https://c3voc.de

I'll be talking about the "Our Data, Ourselves" project at King's College London, which been done in conjunction with some teenage coders via Young Rewired State. They are already contributing to the app, and have started to examine the data they have generated. We will report on their attitudes to privacy, how the app works, and some preliminary results. about this event: https://c3voc.de

In this talk I will discuss how to dramatically improve the speed and quality of your robotics and computer vision projects using MATLAB and Simulink to program your Arduino, Raspberry Pi and LEGO Mindstorms. Firstly, I will introduce MATLAB and Simulink, the industry standard tools used by engineers worldwide to program everything from cars engines to smartphone cameras to spacecraft navigation systems. Next I will give some examples of how these tools can greatly speed up the development of software for a wide range of low-cost hardware devices. Examples include, getting started with Computer Vision on a Raspberry Pi in only 3 lines of code; Programming an Arduino without learning C++ and modifying your code at runtime; Graphically designing a complex control system for a LEGO Mindstorms robot. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A followup talk to one given at OHM in 2013 about how to run your own infrastructure rather than relying on Google or other large companies. about this event: https://c3voc.de

I'll provide a short update on progress made in the campaign to make NHS IT less bad. about this event: https://c3voc.de

A deep dive into cgroups, unshare and other technologies in the Linux kernel used to create isolated containers (as used by Docker/lxc). about this event: https://c3voc.de

A talk about dog behaviour and communication. This is especially targeted at anyone afraid of dogs but is relevant to anyone looking to understand the basics of canine communication and how it affects their interactions with humans and other creatures. about this event: https://c3voc.de

In this talk I will present a few quick tips on making your web applications more resistant to common attack vectors, without putting a lot of effort in. In some cases, simply adding a line to a configuration file can completely prevent entire classes of attack from being viable. We'll take a look at hardening against XSS, SQL injection, clickjacking, password cracking, and a few other bits if there's time. With any luck, you'll make my job a bit more difficult. about this event: https://c3voc.de
