2006 e-crime and computer evidence conference

The call for papers for the 2006 e-crime and computer evidence conference has been extended to 22 May.

From their web site, it appears as though they are yet to choose a theme, but they are interested in any of the following;

* Technical aspects of data recovery and analysis
* Technical aspects of network and/or internet investigation
* Legal apsects of investigation, prosecution or defence
* Criminological studies, theories and issues
* Use of computers in court
* Use of computers to support other investigations

Looks like it would be a worthwhile conference to attend.

Fig Forth

A blast from the past... I remember in about 1987/88 spending *hours* typing in the source code for a version of Fig Forth (Z80) so that it could be adapted to a STD Bus based card I helped develop for the Electronics Unit at the Research School of Electronics at the Australian National University.

As a card, it was kind of neat - 32K of eeprom space, and variable ram (remember 28 pin JDEC pinout parts).

The source code for the project is here;

http://www.drj-electronics.com/projects/software/figforth/index.html I have included the CP/M test version that I used to play with. It runs under any of the curent Z80 emulators (Joan Riff, etc).

To compile it, you will need a cross assembler called A80Z. It had a unique syntax.

Gosh, that has rattled some brain cells.

Electronics Dumping and Recycling

Yes, it is an old article, but I lost my appetite for replacing hardware when I read this article.

http://news.com.com/2100-1040-844195.html

It would seem that recycling with the lowest bidder may not be the best thing for the environment.

On a recycling / recovery note, years ago when I was a trainee, one of the lab staff was recovering the silver from photographic solutions in a big plastic container under his workbench. I have a sneaking suspision that what made it economical was that it was done at work, and he wasn't paying for the energy.
