Shmoocon Rainbow Table Swapshop

[dninja at gmail.com (Robin Wood)]

So, Shmoocon is over and the swapshop happened. Unfortunately it
wasn't as successful as it could have been but for the first attempt I
think it went OK.

A number of people donated tables and others leached sets, the problem
turned out to be that the initial donation was about 300GB and to copy
that from one external disk to a second was taking up to 7 hours, when
two people were copying that time shot up even more.

When I get back home to the UK I'll do an inventory of what I
collected and find some way to share it out to those who want copies.
I'll also have a play with different methods of running the system to
try to drop that time down to something more manageable.

Thanks to Darren and Larry for donating hardware and the PaulDotCom
crew in general for keeping an eye on the setup while I was running
round doing other con activities.
