More Roux wouldn't hurt!

On this note, is there a nice mechanism by which UK cubers can get notified of upcoming competitions? That is without sifting through the forum: case in point: I almost missed registration as I thought there would be a new thread when the event went official rather than just continuing the original poll thread for a suitable date. Also I didn't notice the WSM poll thread until just the other day.

I think I could easily set up a simple web service on the UK Masters site so that a single poke by an admin would send out messages to everybody who registers an interest.

Best of luck getting it in time - I hear they're pretty awesome. My luck with home delivery is similar: I can be watching the door through the window and they'll silently crawl up the garden and post the note like a ninja

Hmm... I'm going to go to the sorting office place in a few hours to see if they have it. The note said wait 24 hours, but usually they're only 3 or 4 hours :/

Yeah that would be fantastic actually. I don't think there's one up currently.

Leaving at 4 in the morning bleh. Hopefully I will get there in time for 4x4. Might have to miss 2x2

 

[~Adam~]

Question, if I'm not competing till 10am can I register shortly before it? An extra couple of hours sleep would be nice =)

That's a great idea, it would be really useful to have a way by which UK cubers could be notified of upcoming competitions. I think something on Facebook would be quite useful for getting the word out, though of course not everybody uses Facebook so it wouldn't be practical without something else (like the website, as you suggested.)

We have various systems at Nottingham Hackspace that will use whatever people have (as long as there's a back-end written for it) so: email, facebook, Twitter, Google+, SMS, IRC, a telephone call with FreeTTS Text-to-speech, etc. Anything is possible really although in this case a simple email would be the most practical!

That would be great Mike, with a little more notification, I might've been able to make it. I don't use facebook personally, and I don't periodically check the forum, Bobthegirraffe monkey told me (heard it through the grapevine) but I forgot about it before I came looking ... and sorry 5BLD, I would've liked to have done a few solves with you, shame, next time hopefully.

Just went to see if the sorting office had my 4x4. They didn't have it D:

Gah. Why didn't I tell you. Ah well better luck next time

Sorry for the short notice, but owing to the fact that the job I am on has been a mess around from start to finish, I've been reliably informed that the job has to be finished monday morning.That means work tomorrow and possibly Sunday.

I could have said I was unavailable, but with overtime being offered at more than double time, and my impending nuptials with Helen, I simply can't turn down a weeks wage for 2days work..
