Friday May 19, 2006 Help, My Car Has its Index Out of Bounds
What world are we living in when cars can have an Index out of bounds? *Sigh* ;-) It just happened live on stage during today's slot car race finals. There were three contestants, one of them a team of German students who reached a spot in the final top 3 on just during the last day or so -- by teamwork: One was coding, one was watching the race, while the remaining two stood and queued! With this clever technique they caught up with the others quickly. One of the other two contestants, I think his Name was Chou, I've alread seen live at work during the last days tweaking realtime code on the racetrack.
Well, After Gosling's presence single-handedly expelled the index bug from the presentator's machine, ;-) the slotcar race could begin. Due to the earlier bug, the one car that was first carried out of the track was not disqualified... Phew. Gosling mentioned that the teams actually had to tame their racing code over night, seems they were all pressing the limits too hard when they heard they were in the finals... But during the actual run, the slotcars showed their best behaviour. Chou won while the German team came in second, but it was pretty close! Cool, very exciting, I hope we will have more of these contests in the future. So what do you want for next year? Post a comment. :)
