CodeRage II -> Delphi Robot Rage final standing

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

The official standing of the bots was given during the live broadcast of the final session. Although if you run the bots in a new battle, chances are a different bot may win. There certainly is a bit of luck involved. Never the less, these are the official results.

  • 1st Place - Brian Thoman and Codralis of WideOrbit Inc. in Lynnwood, WA
  • 2nd Place - Michael Madsen and Kisai of Logos Consult in Denmark
  • 3rd Place - Ken Adam and Akadamia of Akadamia Ltd in Midlothian, UK

Thanks to everyone who entered a bot! I’ll be arranging the prizes with you all shortly. Thanks to all of the prize contributors too. A special thanks to everyone at CodeGear who made CodeRage possible!

Bot profiles and other details will continue to be posted.

At this point I am not posting the last battle recording. The quality was terrible, and most everyone can run their own battle with the bots and D-Robots (possibly reaching a different outcome though. . . )

C64 turns 25

Friday, December 7th, 2007

Thanks to Anders for letting me know the Commodore 64 turned 25!

I was a big fan of the C64, but I didn’t know you could get Pascal for it. My programming was limited to Commodore Basic, but that was when I cut my teeth on programming and knew what I wanted to do when I grew up.

I didn’t know Anders was using WordPress either until I read that post.

WordPress upgraded to 2.3.1

Monday, November 26th, 2007

I finally upgraded to WordPress 2.3.1 from an earlier version. Now I have official tag support, unfortunately I have been using categories for tags. Now I need to clean up my category list and change everything to be tagged instead. I am sure there will be other changes too.
