Dang, you guys managed to choose the single worst 3-day
span that was possible for my schedule.

Me too.
Last year, I could only do the quick thing (one day), but that failed
because I had no compiler generating i386/Linux static binaries
(OpenBSD/i386 would have worked incl. static) and couldn't setup
one in the given time (not even the regular time).
This year, I'm away from in a few minutes till one week later.
Too bad... Especially after two years ago, my entry did perform
quite well even if I didn't spend too much time on it and it
wasn't *too* sophisticated.
Kind regards,
Hannah.
The ICFP programming contest task has been posted. You have
a little less than 72 hours to convince people that your programming
skills and favorite programming environment are the best in the
world :-)

Yes, the Cornell web site for the contest (http://www.cs.cornell.edu/icfp)
has been flaky due to a bad switch. It's been going up and down. We've
got a psuedo mirror going at Bell Labs:

in case you can't get to the Cornell web site.

One question, though, why is there no longer a 'lightning' category?

Probably because this year's project was too big for a decent 24 hour
implemention? (Just my guess...)

When Ketil asked the question about a "Lightning" category he was
talking about the ICFP contest, not "Lightning Oberon". I know it's
a little confusing since this thread is running in several different
newsgroups. The Lightning ICFP category is (if I'm not mistaken)
finishing the contest in 24 hours instead of the normal time (96?).
Lightning Oberon (for those of you reading this from a newsgroup
other than comp.lang.oberon) is the new Oberon-derived language that
runs on the Microsoft .NET platform (which required Windows 2000).
So asadik, how do you like LO so far? Have you tried mixing it
with C# or VB 7 yet?

This quite annoyed me. I wasn't willing to spent 3 days on this, but
was quite willing to spend <24 hours. I'm sure a number of other
hackers felt the same way. Are you sure this just wasn't an attep to
keep Lennart down :)?
Cheers,
Julian.

Well, there's nothing saying you *had* to spend 3 days :-)
Seriously, we'll keep it in mind for next year. And keeping Lennart
down is impossible.
