Facts Of The Day
I figured you all wanted to know that:
- Writing introductions is boring
- Deadlines are bad for my health, I eat and drink way too much and too unhealthy. This effect is prolonged as the number of deadlines increase
- I am procrastinating right now.
- HDTV has better resolution than real life – in the year 3000 at least.
- I am still procrastinating.
- Since you are still reading this you must be procrastinating too, get back to work!
You Are Reading My Blog – The Blog That Does Not Condone The Cool Crime Of Robbery
There is nothing like working late, especially on fridays. The hallways are empty and no weird office mate or office neighbors bother me constantly or create some vortex I’ll have to join :). Well, it can be quite boring too. Luckily video did not kill the radio star just yet, so I still have some entertainment.
Hmm, maybe I should rename my “real life” category to “no life”!
Contest Update – One Hour Left
Only about one hour remains of the North-Western European Regional Programming Contest 2006, in a few minutes the scoreboard will stop updating to keep some suspense for the award ceremony. Aarhus 2 is currently placed number forty with one correct solution, they have incorrect submissions for three other problems – hopefully they will have time to finish their solutions to some of these problems. Aarhus 1 is placed 22 with three problems solved and incorrect submissions to two others.
Online at NWERC 2006 – One Hour Passed
So, we are now one hour into the competition. Aarhus 1 started out slowly but just managed to get their first two problems accepted in the last few minutes so they made quite a jump to eleventh place. See the live scoreboard and the videofeed.
Contest About To Start
The Northwest European Programming Contest 2006 is starting in 10 minutes. This year they even have a fancy video feed with commentaries and graphics, check it out at the NWERC 2006 site. I am sitting in the main auditorium with some other coaches watching the feed on a big screen, very nice – I wish I had some pop corn.
Online at NWERC 2006
I am currently sitting in a hall way at KTH in Stockholm where the North West European Programming Contest 2006 (NWERC 2006) is taking place. I am coaching two teams this year, after having participated in 2005,2004 and 2003, the teams (Aarhus 1 and Aarhus 2) will hopefully do good. The contest starts at 10 swedish time tomorrow and the scoreboard will be updated online for the world to follow :)
Right now the teams are doing the test contest to get to know the contest setup and coming up in 30 minutes is lunch followed by a trip to the Wasa museum. Following this a guy from google will give a talk and then we are off for the contest dinner.
Yesterday we (me and the Aarhus teams) walked around in Stockhom ending up with a visit to the Hard Rock Cafe which had a special Iron Maiden theme night, talk about a lot of black shirts with weird drawings ;)
I guess I will be sufficiently bored during the contest tomorrow that I may actually update this site again at that point, we will see.
Wish us luck!

Water Polo
I just returned from todays water polo matches in division 4, and I am very tired. My shoulders have lost all strength, my legs can hardly move. I am glad that I have time for a power nap before my dorms traditional “Tour de Chambre”-party, which starts tonight :) The matches went okay considering how many beginners (myself included) that our team consisted of, but I am glad I do not have to crawl one more pool length today!
