The Program to CodeCon 2009 is now up, and registration is at the early rate of $75 for all three days until April 1st, after which the cost goes up.

An explanation of CodeCon, from the site:

CodeCon is a conference of working demonstrations. Three days of quick presentations of actual working code, shown by people who wrote them, all for under $100. Past highlights include early presentations of BitTorrent, PGP, and SiteAdvisor.

Presentations this year include:

BioHack! Track:

• DIY Synthetic Biology - From Design to Construction with New Model Organisms
• Homebrew Genetic Testing - Read your own source code - at home!
• Keiki Gels - Visualize DNA -- in a drinking straw!

Code Track:

• BitTorrent DNA - Effortless BitTorrent deployment
• Distributed Transaction Layer for Google App Engine - Transaction semantics across multiple entity groups for applications written in the Google App Engine
• Helios Voting - The first and only web-based voting system that enables voters to verify their vote and the overall tally with cryptographic certainty.

• Pork - Largescale Automatic Rewriting of C++

Damn, I'm missing it !, posted 16 Apr 2009 at 02:20 UTC by ekashp » (Journeyer)

So close, yet so far.

I'm in San Diego this week, teaching a custom class at Qualcomm.

I've got to get on a plane and head to to Australia for an Oracle class next week.

Wish I was heading to CodeCon instead.

I got to work on breaking BitTorrent for MediaSentry, I've gotten to play with TOR and worked on breaking the Great Firewall of China.

Life gives us such blessings, but we have so little time.

God bless Badvogato.

It was interesting and well worth the trip. Especially the DIY BIO track.
