Together with my friends Janosch and Sebastian, I went to the Chemnitzer Linuxtage (Chemnitz Linux Conference) at the weekend.

The trip took three and a half hours by car, but I would say it was worth it, although there were less business people and company presence than I expected. Too many freaks :-)

The most notable presentations I took part in were about the PostgreSQL open-source database system and about website security, including a live demonstration of cross-server-scripting attacks.

The organisators provided sleeping place in a sports hall, which was a good stay for a great price (5 Euro including a nice breakfast buffet).

Also notable for the weekend was our selfmade after-show party, which was prepared in advance by buying lots of beer and some potatoe chips :)

I did not really enjoy the tour back home, as I was little tired and stressed, but after all, I had two fun days with good friends.
