ElePHPant Haven

As the NZOI doesn't get any funding for the trip to the IOI (plane leaves  then ), thus relies on donations to cover the airfares. A group of auctions on TradeMe has been set up as a fundraiser  here . Closes on the 18th of June.The

I'm back from OPC. Got lots of emails and RSS items (numbers are in Spam United somewhere). Photos are importing now. Will upload soon.

Naming them now...

And now they're up here. 

Want sleep... 

I'm off to OPC until about 1930 on Friday. I can't be contacted during that time, so don't expect replies.

Well, the famine doesn't official occur until the 23rd, but that's the weekend before OPC, and a week on top of the 40 hours would be way too hard. And I'll have a lot of emails to check when I get back. So I'm doing my 40 hours, starting now.

I'm getting baptised on Sunday. And you can come.

It's almost tomorrow, which is the first day of school for term two, and I'm awake and ranting.

I just ran out of time in the SACO (South African Computing Olympiad), and figured out how to get the index I need just before the time limit. All I had to do was make a maximum spanning tree to calculate the longest time for a taxi to get dispatched or something.

I still have half of a bottle of Mountain Dew left (already drank one), so probably wont get to sleep for a while, I'm going to be kicked off the internet in 15 minutes.

I would've have finished the problem, and had a crack at the third one if the time limit was from when I started. The competition started at 1830, while I was at church, so I didn't start until 2030.

Getting woken up at 0630 tomorrow by Blitzkrieg is going to be annoying, especially if some of the Mountain Dew kicks in as I'm trying to sleep (like it normally does...). So I'll just lie in bed with Blumpy and rage.

Oh, if you couldn't tell, I'm annoyed. I'm allowed to be annoyed every so often. Stupid time limits and competitions in inconsiderate time zones. Everybody should use a unified time zone, and then I wont have this problem.

I should probably get some sleep before school tomorrow. I'll probably finish the problem tomorrow as well. 

So the A-League schedule got released today. 21 games again, with the Nix having 11 at home. One more than last season (:

Schwipe is now a year old.

After Natalie's hilarious attempt at explaining this on Sunday (at least she got my name right though), some accurate information might be wanted. And there's also some people that weren't there that will probably be interested as well.

After the  NZOI training camp , AIIO and FARIO, I have been selected as part of the four person NZOI team to compete in the  IOI  in Cairo, Egypt. This competition (the only real one involved in my C programming so far) is held in August.
