Had to get up at a ridiculous hour, 7:00am, and went to cologne by train to the second antispam congress. I remembered to look up the train schedule to avoid the usual late trains in the morning. Surprisingly this even worked out and I arrived on time in Cologne. The congress and fair took place at the cologne chamber of industry and commerce, surprisingly the congress and fair took place in the same room. The congress was quite full, some people even had to stand during the first 1,5 hour. It also received a lot of media attention. There were some good talks during the morning, I found the talk about the legal issues really interesting. The talk of Mr. Romeo from web.de was also interesting, he gave a small insight into web.de’s antispam measures and delivered some figures about their daily spam and virus amount. During noon it got noisier and more uninteresting, so I decided to head back and catch up on sleep. Of course, trains were all late then.

Took a short 2 hour nap in the afternoon and finalized the knoppix cd for our freshmen in the evening. I even managed to get a working copy of freedos on the cd. So you have the choice of knoppix, the debian sarge installer and freedos.

Tomorow we have to duplicate this cd 170 times, which will be fun.
