I think "El Fudge Butterfinger Blasted Sandwhich Cookies" are laced with crack. I really do.
This came about because I took part in the "2003 UF Programming Competition" on Saturday, which well I thought was a lot more
fun then most everyone reading this page thinks it is. It essentially consisted of getting up early (10 am on a saturday is EARLY!)
and after a sample problem and hanging out talking about computers, we sat at a computer to program for 5 straight hours. What a way to spend a
Saturday afternoon! It really was a lot of fun, and while I didn't win or anything (1st place got $500) I did respectable which
is all I was hoping for. Meaning I got 3 out of the 8 problems done (and well half of another one). The winner did 5. It was
trully a site of nerdvana as it was all guys (why oh why girls don't like this stuff still baffles me), with all the coke and
cookies and pizza you can eat. You couldn't ask for a better time! Oh, and getting back to the cookies, they had a lot left over,
so I randomly grabbed them and brought it back to the dorm.
In related news to getting the new DDR game (thanks to Heather!), here's one of the funniest things I've seen in a while,
manual DDR. So cool, so very cool.
I discovered a new quirk about the internet today while mistyping a URL,
nonexistant addresses now get rerouted to a VeriSign webpage
instead of having a browser specific error message pop-up. Apparently it switched a few weeks ago, and not everyone
is happy with it, as it allows for Big Brother type tracking in what sites you might have wanted but didn't get. Not to mention
VeriSign gets all kinds of free publicity and hold a lot of power since I'm sure there are a ton of mistyped addresses that happen
every day.
