You want to sell a laptop on ebay, lost a memory card on the street, want to recycle that old stack of phones. How do you know the data is really gone? Hollywood says your data is always recoverable, often with some really slick animations and latex clothing involved. What does it really take to recover information that is lost or destroyed? What are the common to cutting edge techniques that can be used to get your information back? What can be done to safely delete information, recycle old devices and prevent data theft? Mike will lead a discussion on what works, what doesn't and what probably should(n't).

Gaming history and future: Ever wanted to know more about what type of hardware was behind that beloved arcade game of yester-year? How has the technology and the security of arcade games evolved (and regressed) over the past few decades? What does the future of arcade gaming look like?

Grand Opening

This page is to help plan the grand opening. It's not really meant to be public-facing - we should create another page that we can send people to get actual information. This page will be filled in and fleshed out as decisions are made.

Particulars:

  • Date: November 5, 2011
  • Time: 2pm - 6pm @ SkullSpace, 6pm - 10pm @ King's Head

Tickets are $10 and are available at all events, or from members.

Music

DJSBX, Rylaan, Kid Conflict, and possibly others will be playing some UK Hardcore and ChipTunes for us at the King's Head afterparty

Afterparty

We can't reasonably get a liquor license for SkullSpace, but we'll be handing out drink tickets for the afterparty.

I told the king's head to expect 25 - 50 people, and they didn't have an issue with that. They aren't going to charge us, either, but it won't be a private event. We should have leaflets and such to distribute.

Food

Combination potluck and coldcuts (social style)

Talks/workshops/projects

The following talks are scheduled...

Who ARE these guys?

  • Ron Bowes
  • 2:30pm

SkullSpace president Ron Bowes will give an introduction to the audience of who we are, what we do, and why "hackers" aren't such bad guys after all.

Hack the Resume - Part I

  • Ian Trump
  • 3:00pm

Former RCMP and DND intelligence analyst Ian Trump smacks the resume around and gives you tips on making it into Pile "A". Through careful analysis of the job requirements and deconstruction of what the business is really looking for, Ian will help you "win" at resume writing.

Arcade Platforms

  • Mike Legary
  • 4pm

Gaming history and future: Ever wanted to know more about what type of hardware was behind that beloved arcade game of yester-year? How has the technology and the security of arcade games evolved (and regressed) over the past few decades? What does the future of arcade gaming look like? Mike will take us down memory lane, showing examples from some his favourites as well as some of the actual machines we have at SkullSpace. This will also be followed up by some hands-on playing in the lounge with some of the old and a couple of the new titles gracing the arcade today.
