United-TI BASIC Contest Ends
Posted by Michael on 21 March 2006, 02:56 GMT

The United-TI BASIC programming contest that we previously reported about has now ended and the judging is complete. You can read about the contest and the winner ("Alexrudd") who received a USB flash drive and a t-shirt.

Nice thing they did to the front page, huh? index.html looks like a domain parking service. The HP ads are a nice touch.

Slashdot has also gone bazerk.

Domain squatting. Somebody wanted the domain, and they pounced on it before it could be renewed. We may never get it back.

They were just so nice, they let us keep all the old pages except for the index.

Well, in an attempt to recover this topic from hijackers, I'll mention that the bug (a typo) was fixed, and my final entry is available at the UTI archives.

well sometimes its funnier to start april fools jokes before april 1st to make them more real.

And no Omnimaga didn't got hacked all posts are back up and they won't translate to 1337 when edited/posted anymore. Plus the Céline Dion member account was fake as well

"View source" is for wimps. You should have all the URL's to the other areas of the site memorized.
