And very nice it was, too. The 13th conference of the Porvoo Group was held between Tromsø and Trondheim in Norway last week, and they were kind enough to invite me to speak on the subject of Electronic Identity and Privacy. Trondheim airport (or rather, Værnes airport, which is about 35kms from Trondheim itself), is situated right next to the small town of Hell. It was fairly cold there last week, but I couldn't honestly say that it had frozen over (which, presumably, is why those unlikely things you were waiting for haven't happened yet).
And speaking of eternal darkness, here's a photo of the monument marking the point at which the Norwegian Express Ferry route (Hurtigruten) crosses the Arctic Circle. This is the southernmost latitude at which it is possible to experience Polar night or Polar day (i.e. a night in which the sun fails to rise above the horizon, or a day in which it does not drop below it).
More later on the content of the conference, but in the meantime, many thanks to the Porvoo Group organisers, and especially everyone from the Registry Centre in Brønnøysund, where we were welcomed with exceptional warmth and style.
