This is the week when computer security departments world wide will be short staffed because everyone who could beg, borrow, or steal tickets and time off will be heading to Las Vegas for the Blackhat and Defcon conferences....
Well, thats actually a bit of an exaggeration - after all there are a lot of good conferences these days - often smaller and less intimidating, or less corporate and more focused (such as Shmoocon for example). But in any case, the schedule for Blackhat has a lot of interesting stuff on it, as does the Defcon schedule, and I'll be looking forward to some interesting material being convered. I saw Major Malfunction's mag stripe talk at Uncon 9 - well worth a look in if you want to see some hacking it 0ld sk00l.
Now all I have to do is survive the 10-odd hour flight there from London...

night before flight: go out with uncon krew, have a "few" drinks
DC/BH: well lets hope you have enough recovery methods handy
flight home: too hunger over to even think about the flight
