I had registered for 5 invitationals. And i was serious about only Software Design. But as i learnt a little about the other invitationals, i got interested. The most alluring one for me was Short Film. I have no experience in film making, but for watching, call me any time for a good movie. I always wanted to make an excellent movie (me being a novice) and show it to local Kannada directors who make pathetic maovies spending crores of rupees on sick song sequences. So i had an idea in mind. Only needed implementation. Now i had a sufficient drive to do exactly that, and do it well too.
Apart from Short Film, I also started loving the Algorithm challenge - Nanobot programming in a new language called 'H' which stands for Herbert. For those who dont kno, i can simply add this line to my resume and impress people of having hands on experience in Nanobot programming! I got a mediocre total (i think it is 9523), nothing compared to the toppers on the leader boards. I later found out that the top 200 will go thru to the next level. And my rank was un-officially 1020.
The IT invitational was inviting since it was an online one hour test. I had no idea what it was about and took the test. I somehow managed to notch up 40 points using Google and TechNet but that wasnt a sufficient score to qualify for the next round.
Right now i have my hopes pinned on Short Film whose community voting starts 20th March. Lets do some campaining!
And of course, there always is Software Design whose Round 2 results are due on 20th too...
