Next CamPUG meeting: Tuesday 3rd July
by Tony Ibbs June 27, 2012

June 27, 2012

From our Google group: The next meeting will be Tuesday 3rd July, 7.30pm at RealVNC (http://tinyurl.com/realvncoffices). We normally stop about 9.30pm, and go on to the pub. This will be a talks meeting. Simon Jagoe volunteered to talk about the profiling framework that he and a colleague have been working on. I hope to have five or ten minutes on the joy of cross-compiling Python (and where to look for the solution if you need it). Any other talks will be very welcome. Meetings after that should be: • Tuesday 7th August, a non-talks meeting • Tuesday 4th September, another talks meeting • Tuesday 2nd October, another non-talks meeting Tibs

word chains: impossible ones
by Carles Pina i Estany June 17, 2012

June 17, 2012

Hi, I've re-implemented the wordchain of my team. Using the dictionary that I have here, it seems that there are only two words unconnected to the rest of the 3 letter words: *emu *ems Everything else is connected :-) (and emu and ems obviously are connected) So, if my dictionary is ok and you want to beat someone: ask from emu to something else :-) Regards. -- Carles Pina i Estany Web: http://pinux.info || Blog: http://pintant.cat
