I just get a standard GoDaddy page saying this:

Will it be back?

Lol Stefan, I can access it np :O. Looks like there are lots of problems in Germany. Haha.

 

[JianhanC]

I can't access it too. Am going. Is Jon still in Toronto? Hope he comes

 

[rubiksarlen]

Yeah same problem here. Not sure whether I'm coming or not, but if I do, I'll be participating in 3x3, OH, BLD, 2x2 - 5x5, and hopefully 4BLD .

I somehow can. :/ There's nothing too important in there though, no worries. I'll just copy everything over here just in case.

If solving puzzles at blinding speeds is something you’re into, then this will be the event for you!

[aronpm]

I can connect fine.

 

[rubiksarlen]

Doesn't really matter anyway, cos I managed to connect yesterday, so I saw the stuff there already. Only having problems today....

 

[ardi4nto]

Probably going by traveling overland and by ferries to Malaysia.
I think it's worth a try

 

[JianhanC]

I still can't access MalaysianCube. Any ideas? I really want to see the discussion there

Now I can't access it too. :/ Maybe Kong will do something, let's wait.

 

[amostay2004]

There's nothing much going on there, no worries.

 

[JianhanC]

I gotta tell Kong that I want to join 3BLD, since there isn't going to be extra charges. Is it possible to add events after a competitor has registered?

 

[Iggy]

I'll be participating in 3x3, 2x2, 4x4 and magic. Oh yeah, we need to stay overnight, right?

You can go home after the first day, I did that for MCO.

Depends whether you enter the following rounds or not .

Also, if I do make it to the comp, I'll bring 50k Traxxas diff oil to lube you guys' cubes, if you guys want.

Hi,

As I'm not Malaysian - I will (probably) travel with my friend Ilham, I want to know some things:
1. Is there any cheap hostels near the venue? I can't open the competition website right now - I saw some accommodation details there few days ago .
Or may be any cuber's house or room that we can stay during the competition is fine..

2. How to get there from KLIA airport? The cheapest way is better, I don't mind much about how long the travel.

But don't expect us to come (50% chance), as we are still searching cheap flight or boat ticket to Malaysia..

The last time 4x4 and 5x5 were two seperate days, and I came the next day because it was so fun, though I did all my solves the previous day. And damn, I placed an order for Lubix :/ How did you find Traxxas?

There are some in the links in the first post From KLIA to Putrajaya is quite a distance, so I guess your best bet is to ride with other cubers or hire a madly expensive cab.

You could just re-register on the WCA site

 

[Iggy]

You could just re-register on the WCA site

How do I do that? By just filling up the form again?
