General description

Hi there!

So you did load this page!

Have you ever heard about a weird thing called the Internet?

This is when you are texting with your gf during the maths lecture.

The Internet is when it says "Seen" instead of just "Sending...".

The Internet is even when your mother "likes" your last post.

So what happens when you lose such a precious thing?

You pray to the God of the World Wide Web to give you some?

Nah, this won't work for you.

Or maybe, just maybe..

This autumn...

In Sofia..

A Great Mystery...

will be solved!

How does your smartphone talk to your PC?

What the heck is LAN, WAN, TCP, VPN, IP, HTTP?

Does my home gateway need a gatekeeper or two?

If you are interested in exploring your neighbors' router?

You want to meet a bunch of motivated people and have fun together for a whole week?

You want to visit the capital of the beautiful Bulgaria?

So brace 127.0.0.1 and apply!

LBG Sofia is waiting for you!
