Website seems broken

Looks like the site has been pwned :)

Just use those Red + Blue anaglyph glasses.

Quite keen, wanted to come for a few years but various things have always gotten in the way. Have asked the boss :-)

I'll be there, sad they didn't run last year but bsides was pretty neat none less.

Found it to be completely unreadable.  Clearly I'm too old to be in their target demographic...

And ze boss approved so ticket now purchased. 

Yup, I'll be there, bought my ticket this morning.

@Lias Lucky! I'm still waiting for my boss to approve my ticket via work ;)

@jamesrt something a little amusing about this site this year:

P.S. Wondering about the weird background pictures? So we (okay, it was pruby) uhh - for serious, not making this up - trained a machine learning neural net on a bunch of cyberpunk cityscapes, then had it grind up a rather non-trivial amount of GPU cycles cyberpunkify-ing metl's daytime photos of Wellington...

The site looks terrible (and have been told that multiple times with prepping a team from work to go) but the fact a neural net made all the background photos is quite neat.

Nothing that a filter in GIMP or Photoshop probably couldn't have done...  (Although bonus points for the Geek Factor!)

I think my main complaint would actually be the font; my poor old-man eyes can't cope; even with my uber-strong progressive lenses/reading glasses on..

Interestingly, the site is quite readable on my phone; better font selection, clearly.
