Today just got better. In the beginning of the school year, some friends of mine and myself created a programming club at my school. Today our A and B teams placed second and third respectively at a java programming competition. At the competition, I heard about this event, and decided to join the cause. With about six months of experience with java, and perhaps a bit of cockiness after today’s competition, I am preparing for a long and awesome weekend.

Tools for the grueling weekend:

1. Java

2. minimal knowledge of Java

3. Ingenuity to counter #2

4. Google (disguised as #2)

5. Artistic ability of friends

6. Coffee

7. not sleep (see #6)

8. Coffee

First time tackling LD, very very excited.

NetBeans(Because)

GIMP (Because it’s free)

Mac (don’t hate)
