At the HACDC Hackerspace area.

I'm posting photos and, eventually, videos at my Flcikr collection.
(You can see other Flickr images with the tags "Last HOPE" and "hacker" here.)

A Hacker Scene Anthem?
(Eine Hymne für die Hackerszene?)

A the closing of the Last HOPE conference, the funeral them broke in joyfulness when it was announced that this 2008 conference is not the final one but the last one attended so far. Then, a fellow from Austria added to the happy moment by proposing a hacker anthem: "Surfen Multimedia" done by the Eurocats in 1998. [mp3 link]

English translation of the lyrics:

Suring surfing through the world with multimedia
Suring surfing, day and night
on the data highway

Come join me on the internet tonight
I'm already waiting for you
Dude, be a user, go online
You'll meet me in the email

And should you lack some megabytes
You’ll find them here with me
Be it interface or cyberspace
I'll gladly share with you

With bits and bytes
With mouse and click
We are going on a tour
In the World Wide Web
We'll follow each new hint today

Just the song to listen while "surfen auf der Daten-Autobahn". Sorta like what ABBA might have done had they gotten interested in the Internet.
