Some of those cal/tech sites could give it a run for its money. Mm?

Black text on a white background? That is a thing of beauty compared to red text on a black background. Did Bob Burton create it or something? It seems quite similar to the old cubewhiz.com atrocity.

What happened Bryan, did Ilkyoo tick you off or something? Cubingusa has no love for CMU comps?

True, but I don't think it could do a more unsatisfactory job of providing information, while still providing enough to be useful. There is barely enough there for competitors to find the venue after a fair amount of googling. Not even any contact info...

I took the hint. I modified it somewhat for Drupal, but it is similar at least. I need to work on an actual theme that ties in better with Drupal... the WCA site does too.

Ilkyoo can you add that I'm doing Square-1? Thanks

Already did.

I just wanted to nominate this competition in the Worst Website Ever category.

Thank you, I always wanted to win something. :P

Good observation, I actually got permission from Bob to use his html code for a temp website until Schelley made the actual website.

Also, does anyone know if Gilles van den Peereboom is actually coming or did someone just register him because they thought it would be funny? I ask because we have had one disgruntled ex cuber submit a lot of false registrations at our comps in the past.

But if he is coming, that would be aces.

Gilles is currently in Korea, but he might be coming to the US at the time of the competition. He actually registered himself, so no worries. :)

By the way, of course CMU would use AFS. Whom do I high-five for that? :)

I'm doing theoretical CS at CMU, not web applications so I guess that rules me out. :P

If I knew you were waiting for a better site, I could've whipped up one for you. I think Jim has it down now where he can create a new site in like 30 seconds.

In the future, if anyone needs a site for a competition, I'll be glad to host it on CubingUSA for free. This applies to even non-US competitions.
 
I think it's about time I planned ahead to make it to this competition... I just looked up Greyhound, they don't have anything scheduled to reach Pittsburgh before 10 a.m. for me to make it in time for the competition. Worse, they have NOTHING scheduled to go from Pittsburgh back to Dayton on Saturday :(

So umm, does anyone have a place for me to crash for a night or two (definitely Saturday night, very possible Friday night)? If not, I think I might not be able to go unless I manage to hitch a ride or something :o

I told you I have room... I'm pretty sure Dave Cambpell is staying here too. Also, my apartment is like 10 minutes from the bus station.

I assume you mean me. You had mentioned this to me at worlds, and i was going on the assumption that is what i would end up doing. But I was going to talk to you about that this weekend to confirm it was still okay with you. But yeah, I'd appreciate it.

I get the master suite, right?

If you can make it to Columbus, I'm driving over Saturday morning and coming back in the evening/night.

That sounds awesome! :) What time are you leaving Columbus? I doubt there's a bus that early in the morning though :o I'll see what I can do.

On a side note, I just realized I have to choose between the Putnam math competition and this cube competition (and getting to stay at Dan Cohen's place and learn lots of stuff! :D :D :D) because they fall on the same day :( Anyone have any opinions on what I should do? :p
 
Well, I don't know if this will be the determining factor of your decision, but I just wanted to let you know that I am a math major myself, and I chose to host the competition on the same day as the Putnam. ;)
