Wednesday, May 3rd, JWRD Computing(i) will be continuing our event series(ii) by hosting an educational social hour at TEKA in Panama City, Panama.
As far as the education goes, Jacob F. Welsh, CTO of JWRD and author of Fixpoint, will be presenting on philosophical and practical considerations regarding passwords and their role in computer security and thus human identity in the Internet Age.
- Why are passwords important and meaningful ?
- What are important considerations when creating passwords ?
- What are ways you can measure the extent to which your passwords are strong ?
Agenda
- The evening will kick off at 5pm with Happy Hour drink specials and mingling among attendees until 730pm.
- $5 cocktails, wine and mixed drinks.
- 2nd pizza for $5 (whichever is the cheaper of your two).
- Mr. Welsh will then drop knowledge nuggets for 30-45 minutes, bring your notebook.
- Stick around a while after to get to know like-minded people, i.e. those interested in owning their things outright ; you know, by enforcing alodial title.
TEKA has a cool vibe, open layout, a money food and drink menu and a brick oven producing the best pizza in town.
ViniSardi will be present with a special beverage promotion.
TEKA is located on Calle 70 in Panama City's San Francisco neighborhood, have a map :
RSVP to get yourself on the list by using the contact form on jwrd.net or Eventbrite.
The only other requirement is to consume at least $25 of food and drink.
No freeloading, burdensome exigences, allowed. Cool people only.
Entonces, nos vemos alla !!

The slides from my talk are here and the recording should be coming soon.
Thanks again to those who showed up to work on their mental fitness with us. Of course this was only the tip of the proverbial iceberg, so stay tuned for more, or perhaps better still, have a closer look at the ground we've already covered here and on Fixpoint.

Slides and recordings are now up at: http://jwrd.net/files/2023-05-03-passwords-teka/
We're still getting the hang of this A/V thing so there were some different technical difficulties this time: the camera fell asleep at 29 minutes 50 seconds, which was caught soon but lost a few minutes of content; then it did the same thing at the same relative time and wasn't caught, losing the tail end of the Q&A. So the video is in two incomplete parts but hey, at least the environment was saved. Mic setup wasn't the best so there's a fair amount of background noise. You'll also find a separate recording from the lapel mic, which is complete and captures me at a better volume level relative to the background, unfortunately the recorder was set (hardcoded!!) to an analog telephone quality 8kHz sample rate. (This part at least is solved for next time.) Finally, the projected slides are overexposed and underfocused, so I'd recommend following along on the PDF.
"Experience is the best teacher but the tuition is high" and all that.
