Happy New Year (to the German Customs) and the HITBSecConf videos!
Happy 2006 to everyone, especially to the German Customs who had a fine time watching the DVD videos of HITBSecConf2005 which we sent over to Sweden. Although we did promise to have the DIVX videos of HITBSecConf2005 ready for download during the Christmas holidays, the videos ended up getting stuck in Germany, where the customs clearance for the package took a staggering 10 days! To think that we sent the shipment via DHL's International courier service expecting the shipment to arrive in 3 days, only to have it take over 2 WEEKS instead! One thing's for certain, we're NEVER sending anything via DHL again! Here's the shipments tracking details (ID: 1168500502)
