Work are sending me to Asiacrypt, which is in Queenstown from the 1st to the 5th of December. I'm also going to be taking some time in NZ for sightseeing etc.
So firstly, I'm going to be away from my email for quite a bit. I may have some access from NZ, but hotel connectivity is strange and my laptop's TP-ethernet is inoperative due to mechanical trauma[1]. Tech ctte people, you'll have to do without me for a bit :-). Please wait until I get back with the md5sum output format thing. Secondly, if anyone in NZ would like to meet up please let me know ASAP. It'd be good to go out for a drink or three. Maybe I can even teach you Mao :-) (or have a good game if you know it already ...). I'll post again when I have flight numbers and hotel details. The flights I have booked are: 2002-11-28 LHR dep 1425 2002-11-30 Auckland arr 0545 dep 1000 Queenstown arr 1150 2002-12-11 Queenstown dep 1100 Auckland arr 1245 2002-12-15 Auckland dep 1645 2002-12-16 LHR arr 0910 Thanks for your attention, Ian. [1] I dropped it on the networking dangly bit.
