One of the most charismatic singer-songwriters passed away …
Grant McLennan, founding member of The Go-Betweens, died at the age of 48 at his home in Brisbane, Australia.
I have to confess that because of my young age I was not able to listen to his music from the very beginning, but I am sure that anyone who is familiar with any of his work will understand what an enormous loss his death is.
Yesterday I received the notification that there will be a Google Code Jam Europe this summer. Last years Code Jam was a “worldwide event” which seemed to be well organized and was quite entertaining (even though i wasn’t THAT successful 
).
The whole competition takes place in TopCoders coding arenas which is basically a java applet which provides multiuser chat for small groups of people competing against each other. There are several programming languages available which will be compiled and unit tested in a service oriented way (meaning you submit your code through the applet and get the compiler logs).
The whole event consists of several rounds with or without challenge phases, … (be sure to read and understand the rules )
Registration is open until the 23rd of May.
people I’m outa here again. I’m going to Mallorca with my girlfriend until monday. Hope you don’t get bored without me
just submitted my proposal for the Google SOC 2006, I decided that I would like to contribute to the Moodle Project because they are using Moodle here at JKU. I hope I can integrate a Global Search module into Moodle. So then press your thumbs!
as probably all of our readers will have noticed. Sorry that we did not write to you sooner and sorry that there are still no pictures online but its been a stressy time back in good old austria and at university.
I have to say thank you to Philipp and his grandparents for standing my snorring for almost three weeks. Hope to trip with you again my friend!
