• Webcast Timetable for Spam Conference Sessions

  For anybody who couldn't attend the Spam Conference at MIT yesterday, the conference organizers created archived webcasts for all presentations. The full conference was chunked into four big web cast sessions. To make it easier to jump to a specific presentation, I have created a timetable. It was missing from the original web site.
