Well I've helped Odder de-bug stuff before
I'm currently talking to him on MSN. He said that we just need a simple timer (that I would code) and that he could do the part where it would link it to the events.

[Mike Hughey]

Wow, your doing 7x7 as fast as I did 6x6 . What's your PB?

I'm pretty sure I remember it being a little over 42 minutes; I think this would have been my PB. I'm not worrying about it, because I want sub-40.

I did this one at 2 AM. I have a feeling sub-40 is really possible for me if I'm well-rested - it just requires that I memorize sub-20, which I have done once before. (Unfortunately, that time I had problems with the solve.)

I just realized I've been really missing 7x7x7 BLD a lot lately. I need to start hitting them again. It's so frustrating, because most of them are just a few pieces off.

I just felt I HAD to post this here after my first 2 results. Please don't count this, Mats, because it is already submitted to Odder's site.

FMC: 26 HTM

Spoiler:

F' U' R' L2 F - 2x2x2 inserted L2 for better position of the orange yellow pair

Go back and insert B for better continuation after 2x2x3
F' U' R' B : L2 F D' B D - 2x2x3
B' L U2 L' - pseudo F2l-1
B' . L' B' L U' - leaves 5 corners

I made the frame for the timer, and Odder made it the way he wanted it to function. Now he just has to somehow make it put the times into the textbox (I think that's what he's going to do)

I'm also going to try to write a code that will save the username (by clicking a remember username button of course) in the browser's cookies, so you don't have to enter it every time. The password will be more interesting, since it's encrypted. If I can get both, then I could even get an auto-login function

I wouldn't worry too much about the login functionality, since it's hopefully only temporary. My hope is that eventually it will be incorporated into speedsolving.com, so there will be no need for a separate login.

So basically my attempt at coding it is useless? Okay, I guess it's a good thing I finished for the day about an hour ago
