If you have a multi-connector charge-only cable it's likely that the data lines aren't connected, so that's an option. (Unless it's a multi-headed cable like: < https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11515>. )

I attended 25C3 four years ago and really enjoyed it. Some thoughts if you're considering going: 1) You should go. :) 2) Being only able to speak English (aside from picking up helpful words like "ein" and "bitte" :) ) was fine. Talks are l

> My original goal for it was as a way to get ideas out of my head and onto "paper". Yeah, I've found a project log as a good way to get an idea out of my head too--or out of the tabs in my browser :) until I'm ready to get back to it.

The single biggest thing that's helped me context switch between projects (or return to one) has been keeping a project log. To me, a project log is to documentation as Twitter is to blogging--it requires little effort but over time provide
