Gone Programmin' (back next week)

The current TopCoder marathon match runs through this Wednesday and only the top 50 (out of 200 from last week) advance. I am currently in approximately 70^th place so I haven't put any time into this blog this week. The good news is that the Topcoder algorithm tournament first round was also this weekend, and I advanced to compete again. Next week, I will hopefully have something more interesting to say on my blog.
