Melbourne Summer Open 2010

[CubeX]

RMIT is way easier to get to if you live 10-15 min away from the city, but to get to Armadale; it is like 20-30 min away from my area.

 

[Faz]

RMIT is booked for the 30th.
Rego fee will be 10 dollars, with some exceptions.
Tim will get the site up shortly

Should be announced within a week.

Feliks

 

[RainbowBoy]

You mean the Venue has been booked for us?
Or someone else has already booked it for the day?

Should be announced within a week.

Hooray

 

[Faz]

Booked for us

You mean the Venue has been booked for us?

I booked it for Saturday the 30th of January 2010.

I'll work on a registration page tonight and get the details to send off to the WCA (probably finalized tomorrow).

Tim.

This seems to be coming along nicely, I better start practicing extensively and learn all my OLL algs... all though that is inevitable.

 

[Tim Major]

A lot happens in 10 hours.
I can't wait, and I wanna compete in bld! That's my main focus to prepare for the competition.

 

[Faz]

I'd aim to get into the finals (top 8)if I were you. There's some tough competition

Me - 10s
Mazei - 13s
Matt, Michael - 14s
Dene + Nick, Ninja - 17s
Paul - 20s
You - sub 25s
David - 25s
Others?

I remember either Ninja, Paul or Michael couldn't make it.

Just asked parents, guess who's coming to Melbourne for the COMP!
Feliks is it possible if i stay with you? i have no place to stay!

Kidding, sounds like fun guys, have a blast, show the world what us Aussies have!

 

[Zane_C]

well I'm petty dodgy still, for my sake hopefully not many people turn up to give me better chances... Na just kidding, The only chance I have for the top 8 is if I practice heaps, once I've learnt all my OLL algs, I will practice recognizing them.
Btw, isn't "learnt" a word? on the computer it's coming up with a red underline.

I expect Tim will open registration once it is announced officially.

No I don't think learn't is a word.
I think you are suppose to write learned as the past tense as learn. Learn't is nothing, with the dash thing on top of the 'n' i forgot what it is called. You would say ' learn not'

 

[mazei]

Mohammed - 13s

Ok, its either Azraei or Mazei. And if you still insist on Mohamad, thats the right spelling.

 

[Faz]

Mazei then.

 

[Tim Major]

Holy! The site has completely changed! It would have taken a lot of work, but did you delete the old results? Doesn't really matter, but I liked them there. Can't wait for it to be announced. >< < emoticon using underline? I think I meant XD

Edit: I found the results by clicking on registration. Yay, it's not gone.

 

[TimMc]

Holy! The site has completely changed! It would have taken a lot of work, but did you delete the old results?

Yeah, it took a few hours last night.

I've kept the old stuff up under 'looking for something?'

I'm thinking of putting up a mini-navigation menu in place of 'looking for something?' that consists of "Meetups" and "Results" so that it takes you to those pages with the new design. At the moment the site is geared toward one competition. When we continue having more, I'll need to modify the site so that we've got some way of archiving old data (which will just be venue information and registered competitors). I don't see the point in storing results for competitions when they're stored @ WCA. But we can keep a tally of results for meetups. */rant*

TODO:
- Venue page (30 min at most to finish) (getting images, doing layouts)
- Registration page (1-2 hours to finish) (database design, form validation, doing layouts)
- Competitors page (1-2 hours to finish) (just displaying a table)

I'll try to get this done tonight. Just keeping it simple, and putting the full system on hold, to get registrations up.

Tim.

By the way. My clock came, and either it's dodgy quality, or all clocks are. I think this one is just a bit dodgy, though considering it was opened in the '80's and fiddled with since, it's in alright condition.
Practising time. It came unsolved, though once I messed around for a few minutes, I worked out a very simple method.

Btw, isn't "learnt" a word? on the computer it's coming up with a red underline.

Yes "learnt" is a word. "Learned" is the American spelling (learnt is for everywhere else in the world).

 

[Zane_C]

I knew it!

Do any of you people roughly know how far the destination is from geelong?

 

[LNZ]

Geelong is about 75km from Melbourne. There is a frequent express train service that connects the two centres. I have not lived in Melbourne since January 8, 1974, so I can't judge on the current frequency of train services.

Please consult the up to date timetables to be sure.
