http://dinsights.com/POTM is home to the Programmer Of The Month
site - completely for fun, non-sponsored, programming contest.
Current problem (deadline 02/28/2005): given a list of words, create
a 16x32 crossword puzzle grid in a minute using the words.
We've got an active forum, about 900 folks registered, usually get
50-100 programs submitted for a contest. Prize: your name on a
trophy that appears on the website - no more, no less.
GIve a peek if you're interested - C/C++ are the only compiled languages
plus whatever else you'd find on a hosted Linux platform.
Thanks for your time.
