Despite the name, it isn’t a conference for extra terrestrials. ETCon, or ETech, is O’Reilly’s emerging technology conference. It started today with tutorials that we didn’t enroll for, so we just came down to use the network. We did try to register this morning, but we were told that we had to wait until this afternoon because we are all evil terrorists who might sneak into one of the tutorials we didn’t enroll for and infect everyone with a new lethal virus we have developed, or something like that.
