Wow, it’s the first day of May, you know what that means … there’s only 13 days until International Ben Appreciation Day .. erh, I mean, my birthday … on the 14th I turn 16. W00t!

A few minor site restructurements have occured over the last week or so. I changed around some of the links and also installed an antispam captcha in the comments. I know, they are a pain in the proverbial, but I had to as I have started getting “Play Poker Now” spam

Attention Victorian School Students: The Victorian IT Teachers Association, the Department of Education and Training, and Microsoft Australia are holding the 2006 Programming Excellence Awards! This is a nice fun competition for those who are passionate about Visual Basic .NET. I entered the Open Challenge division last year and placed first in the state, and won $5000, which was excellent! It is a great experience, if you place in the top 15 in the Open Challenge division, you get to go down to the Microsoft Australia offices in Melbourne and give a demo of your program to a panel of people from VITTA, DEET and Microsoft. That’s exciting. I highly recommend if you’ve got some VB skills, or if you just want to develop your skills, that you give it a go, talk to your IT co-ordinator about it. It’s a great experience
