Friday 22 August: Olympian efforts

|

Mavis is organising a Computer Olympics to complement that business going on in China. Nothing too strenuous you understand.

Medal events include: writing a programme to solve a simple maths test - seven sections here, one each for the different compilers we have to hand; commissioning the PC (includes removing from the box, assembling, delivery, and getting a real user to sign for it - current world record time 18 seconds); best webcam footage; worst Facebook site; least plausible excuse for late delivery accepted by a user; and, of course, the blue ribbon event, marathon drinking of pints of Hobsons in The Flea and Faceache (with points being awarded for both quanity and final stability).
