Grindor

I've been pretty busy the past couple days, so here's a brief update: Today was the Java Challenge. We had to design a program which would control a set of space ships that would fly around collecting energy. This energy would be used to allow the space ships to move or to fire at the other ships. We were placed on a map with five other teams' programs and tried to accumulate as many points as possible. We ended up placing 41st out of 78 teams that submitted programs.

Well, tomorrow at 8 am the actual contest starts. 5 hours of fun! We'll have to make sure that we all stay awake and useful during it. Scores will be posted on the ACM ICPC Finals web site

I know you probably won't read this before you guys start, but good luck. The java things sounds like it was a lot of fun, and as your birthday is in 10 minutes, I will give you a pre-emptive happy birthday!!!!! What a way to spend it. :)
