Competition brings out...

Google jamming: "Every autumn, thousands of programmers sign up to tackle the most ego-deflating problems Google's engineers can come up with, in a race against time and their fellow coders"
...way! would have been fun to take part just to try it - but since the qualifier was on the 15th last month, I'll have to settle for reading about it.

On the note of comp - I put up a post on "Commando Raid" a while back, well - now the event has been held with 19 participating teams. Mainly from Norway, but also danes, italians and germans (who won). Honorable mention to the team "Grey Nuts" - why? Because the are grey; aged 61, 63, 66 and 70 the completed the approximately 30 kilometers of cross-terrain running, with shooting (pistol, machineguns, sharpshooter rifle, 40mm grenade launcher - just another day in the woods?) and other challenges en route. Oh yes, just to make it more fun the event kicked of at 03:00
Semper fi.
