And most of us are back home! 25C3 has really been a blast and I’m sure most of us will repeat next year.

We had a huge table and still managed to fill it up entirely. Just look:

Since taking photos of the public without permission is forbidden at the Congress, and I didn’t obtain explicit permission from the people on the left, I’ve blacked them out. Oh yeah, that guy at the back is crediar. I hear he doesn’t mind if I post his photo

The iPhone Dev Team guys also sat with us. We even worked together on several occasions, and it was really cool to have these two teams meet together and learn from each other.

In an ideal world, in a few hours, a plane will depart from Madrid Barajas International Airport and with destination Berlin-Tegel Airport. Hopefully, I will be inside that plane. This isn’t an ideal world, however, so chances are the flight will be delayed. But one way or another, I hope to find my way to Berlin today (or tomorrow, going by my sleep cycle).

Pack up has been interesting. Behold:

Standards vary, but I think this is somewhere between “reasonable by 25c3 standards” and “completely insane”. This should be fun though. See if you can spot the key components. FYI: My Wii lives in that 56K modem box.

In an attempt to keep this blog from developing a severe case of cobwebs, I’ll try to keep you posted on what goes on at 25c3. Here’s the vital information:

• 25C3 opening is Dec 27th at 10:00AM CET
• Our talk (Console Hacking 2008: Wii Fail) is on Dec 28th at 9:45PM CET
• We’ll have a 12-seat table near the middle left of the Hackcenter

I’ll be arriving there on the 26th, a bit after Erant and bLAStY. Hope I can make it to the hotel with zero knowledge of German.
