For my stuff?

For whatever you need.  I'd be willing to help, but I'm only a freshman CS student-not too useful.

You're a sophomore now kid...

Credit-wise, yes, but I'm still a Freshman on the CS track.

It's ok, Matt is great at TEAMS with people not too useful - right Craig? .

Here's hoping Matt'll deal with young farts along with the old ones.

Primarily Java, using JGrasp and NetBeans.  I've also taken classes in C++ and Python.

I do have a project to work on, and help would be appreciated.

@SomeKittens: If I don't get back to you by Wednesday or Thursday on this can you send me a PM and remind me (I am getting old and forgetful).

@lp670sv:  I am not sure if you mean you have Java/C++/Python/VB or if you meant strictly VB.

I tend to agree with Prof Underwood and SomeKittens that and electronic results submission system is something that would be a great first step.  It would alleviate paper work for both Cactus and the hosts. Also--trivially simple to do--although with some possible fun coding bits (like "almost" name matching).

FWIW if you would be interested I would be willing to donate the code I wrote to player calculate rankings (similar to chess or XBox live rankings) for the online tourney, and bits and pieces of a Swiss style tournament tracking web app with some ajax crunchiness (i.e., a result ticker similar to what you see for sports).  I had originally hoped to release an actual web app in time for Nats this year--but I never had time to actually put all the bits and pieces together and package things up.

Oooops.  Thinking about it a bit , you probably would be way better off having me spend some time doing the integration bits and pieces myself.  If you would be willing to do all of the infrastructure work (e.g., stuff like player logins) and give me a framework to write against, I should have time to add any of these features in.

Let me know.

Thanks for your willingness to help, but I'm not sure that programming is exactly what I need help with. You can give me your code if you want and I'll look and see if I can use it, but what I REALLY need are web designers to help create layouts and create the look. I'm really just a logic programmer, not a web designer.

You rang? 5 Hour Studios at your service.
