24h HackU @ Waterloo
I took part in the Yahoo! HackU event which occurred for the first time at UW. It was a 24 h contest, where contestants needed to write a Website utilizing any of the tools at their disposal. Mainly APIs from Yahoo! but not necessarily so. Congrats to Addy who won first place overall and to the other winners. My hack didn’t make the cut but you can see it here: http://www.mygamespad.com in action. The idea was to enable the use to bookmark games and see what other games are being bookmarked. But it only drew from my pre-existing database of games and didn’t connect to other websites.

Hey Ivan,
Thanks for the congrats. I just noticed your blog while trying to find the results page from the contest. You’re ahead of Yahoo on the results page…
I’m sure I’ll see you at the next web programming event. Barcamp?
