Next year the final of the ACM (or ICPC?) contest is in San Antonio, Texas. I was lucky enough to go in 2002 in Honolulu, Hawaii for the finals, and now I think to get into ACM again. What’s cool about San Antonio is that iD Software is pretty close, I’m starting to get excited about seeing John Carmack.



The regional phase will be in autumn but until then we’ll go to some internal competitions in our University. As for the team (there should be three people) we are still looking for one person, me and one friend Adrian ‘Micutzu’ Drumea being definitely together. But beware, the third mate should be from our University too.



Anyway, I got some sites where the contestants practice before the official competitions, they are http://acm.timus.ru and http://acmicpc-live-archive.uva.es/nuevoportal/ . So I open a new category of posts entitled “ACM” for all the comments related to this contest, hoping to get into problem solving pretty soon this month.
