The fantabulous A.I. battle
November 11th, 2005
A few weeks back Brad and I were discussing the possibility of a sort of developer competition. A competition that would involve teams of programmers, a given problem, and a set time to program. Good ol’ morphic resonance at it again brings me A.I. battle put on by the IEEE group in waterloo. Unfortunately, through complete fault of my own, I’m currently on the receiving end of the most intense and widely broadcast guilt trip of my life as I ended up with Jarrett as my team mate rather than Kenshi. I hope to do some live blogging of the competition here with some sort of summary of the results on the MeBC Radio 1.
So far the teams of People I know are Jarrett and I, Kenshi and Geetha, and Brad and Zam. I expect that many other upper year hardcores will fill out the ranks. I hope that at least one of these teams make some sort of dent in the competition, but just taking part and seeing how everything works is the most valuable part. That and I expect to head to phils and get trashed afterwards.

No hard feelings sean. Remember: beer at phils. All the girls love a programmer.

Hey sean and any other person that i konw that reads this site. I’m just posting on here for the sake of you blokes. THis is Dave e-mailing from the great country of Scotland i’m currently in Edinburgh which is like saskatoon. It has 435,000 but it has the small town feeling which is so much better than the stuck up metrosexual extremely well dressed assholes of London 7 million assholes. Anyway its all pretty cool. Sean i had an hour long conversation with a prof of Astro Physics here in Edinburgh. We spoke of string theory because that is the only thing i know of. He basically told me they tried to prove it and can’t, don’t think they will be able to. And that in all physics is fucked because most of their theory’s are being found to be improveable. It reminded me of you a lot. ANyway got to go, some bloke wants the computer.
Cheers

Geez Dave! You’ve been in the UK for less than a week and you’re already calling people blokes!
Where were you talking to the prof? What university is that? Check if they have a computer science program. And will give me money.
