I'm reporting to you live from Stockhom, where the
Northwestern European Programming Contest has started. Our teams (some even have their own
website) have yet refrained from beating every other team but are trying hard. As expected, team Messed Up from Twente is taking the lead, even though their key contestant just flew in this morning from San Diego...
There's a live scoreboard available for those at home, and maybe just as interesting, a live video stream.
The guys here at KTH are doing a good job in organising, even though it was mostly a copy of last year, up to exactly the same lunch and same dinner. We (Jan, Jaap and I) have been participating in the organisation so we'll be prepared for some of the caveats when the contest is coming to Utrecht next year.
