    Redbrick are holding the following talks in the next few weeks. We'll also be going on a trip to Limerick to visit Skynet(Limerick's netsoc) on the weekend of the 27th of February. Further details on this to be announced soon.

    ==Real World Low Level Optimisation==

    Thursday 11th February, 7pm in QG22 - "Real World Low level optimisation" presented by Colm McCarthaigh (colmmacc).

    This talk will cover optimisation and performance hacks that are rooted in low-level details of how systems work, but are also applicable and usable in high level programming languages such as Java and Python. Caching, pipelining and probing strategies, performance-oriented data-structure design and statistical profiling. But don't worry, each topic will be covered in plain language and explained from the ground up, and hopefully we'll have some fun along the way.

    After the talk we will be heading out to the NuBar for some "Welcome back" drinks and food.

    ==26C3==

    Wednesday 17/2/2010 4.30pm in LG26 – 26C3 Public Viewing

    The Chaos Communication Congress is an annual event that takes place in Berlin right after Christmas. It is held by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) in Germany. This years iteration (26C3) made headlines by having GSM cracked or LegicPrime security subverted. Talks of the conference were recorded and the best ones will be shown at DCU! :-) Tobi will also introduce you to German hacker culture and answer your questions about the CCC.

    The Public Viewing will take place on Wednesday, 02-17 in LG26 (School of Computing) from 4.30pm, followed by traditional post talk drinks.
