From casey at geeknest.com Fri Apr 1 11:30:05 2005 From: casey at geeknest.com (Casey West) Date: Fri Apr 1 11:30:09 2005 Subject: [pgh-pm] [DoNotReply@Apress.com: Apress User Group Puzzler Promotion] Message-ID: <20050401193005.GA468@geeknest.com> We could win this. Here's one idea. Get a large list of names (screen scrape?) and try to figure out the combination of names that would most saturate the board. So figure out the most compact board you can create with as few black squares as possible. We used to have a member that published crossword puzzles. Sadly she's in New York now. ----- Forwarded message from Apress Newsletter ----- Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2005 11:23:07 -0800 Message-ID: From: "Apress Newsletter" To: Subject: Apress User Group Puzzler Promotion Dear Apress User Group, This May, Apress will award a SONY PLAYSTATION PORTABLE to one lucky promotion winner!

Or will everyone be running home to : install Tiger? I'm up for something after. I will probably be hungry. Chastity, my wife, may also come down this time. I plan to get there around 5:30, hoping to get in before too much of a crowd forms. I have a couple things to purchase but I'd be willing to get out of there and head for some food and drink afterward. It'll help with the buyers remorse. :-) Casey West -- Shooting yourself in the foot with CP/M I remember when shooting yourself in the foot with a BB gun was a big deal.
