Loooong time since I've written smg :O , I was planning to write about SC and EOI, but those topics actually didn't impress me, although I've prepared a draft about SC, but I prefer to talk about it face-2-face :)
So, Today was the last day in one of my life sequences (ITasks :D ), starting with Mentor Graphics offer and ending with Senior Contest. The "Senior Contest" topic is branched to many interesting sub-topics, and I'll start with events in chronological order (wayka2anny describing problem statement :D )
Mentor Graphics offer: I've no much to say about it, no more than that it's a dream coming true al-hamdulellah :) ... I like to work in electronics systems (this company works in EDA), along with my scientific knowledge and IT, I guess this will be a big block in my life n-sha2-ALLAH.
Rabbena ywafa2na lema yo7eb wa yarDa, Ameen ya Rab
Senior Contest (Summer-2007, Today):
I received the offer call of Mentor Graphics while I was in Genedy with Kamal preparing for the contest. That's just an introduction to the contest preparations...
- Preparation:
The most hard part of making a contest, is the preparation... advertising, configuring PCs, finding place and finding time.
I suggest making a department for "Contest" in the ACM-ASCIS :D , that's resposible only for contests preparation. Contests are a good training and needs as much care as well as other activities.
Finally, I'm so thankful to Haytham, Kamal and the consultant Abdalla (al-mo7'aDram :P) for their support :) - Contest Day-Preparation:
As usual, we have things to do in the contest day morning, of course there's a delay for opening the lab, then starting the air conditioners. BTW, I'm so so so sorry for this, the contestants had really hard time while competing, the environment wasn't suitable, it's a problem with conditioners, I didn't know what's the fault! - Contest Running:
During that time, I've started seeing the results .. and bugs :D of the preparation!
The scoreboard, the MSDN, Java and the printer. And the most, mmmm, I don't know how to describe it ... is the rejudging of "Sumtorials II", by that time I felt being a Judge, as well as I felt the sadness of many contestants, I'm so sorry, but it's legal in ACM Rules :D - Teams performance:
I liked the performance of three teams: - Code Masters: I don't have to tell why, they are the First :D, they have reached a position they dreamed of many years, and no one didn't want it, it's a dream of all ACMers.
- Why Not? : A stable performance, always on top, a strong indicator for a better performance on the run. I own an apology for this team, for not giving them much of my time, they have the "indicator" and I wish I could help them reaching their aim.
- Amigoz-- :D : It's because I missed sitting on that middle chair sharing problems with them, and I was so Happy to see Mustafa in the team, while me and Haytham are administrating the contest, really tight cooperation :)
The Event, The New Committeee:
Leaving ACM-ASCIS Steering Committee, it wasn't that much sad :), we are leaving the committee for another generation for more productivity and "Spreading Knowledge".
The new committee seems to me really "New", Rabbena ywafa2hom managing the Committee :)
BTW, another good news, is Nada's internship, Rabbena yekremha :)
BTW-2 :D, Moussa ettasal beya just now, w 2ally enn howa acepted in Critical Sites (C++ a3da2 el Java, grrr :D :D ) and soon n-sha2-ALLAH haygeelo el offer ;) .. ma-sha2-ALLAH
Now I think I've finished my article, and I guess I'm not missing any event (Handled all test cases :D )
Thank you everybody :)
