I have received a number of "regrets" from people unable to make it to the
BrickHeap Wars competition on January 31st (noon to 5pm), but so far only know
for sure that one person will be coming, and a "maybe part of the time" from a
second person.
If there aren't enough people for at least two teams, we won't be able to do the
competition. So if you are planning on coming, please let me know, either by
posting a reply, or emailing me (removing the spam bot first!) before noon on
Thursday January 22nd.
I have an alternate plan if not enough people can make it to the competition.
Thursday afternoon I'll post a general description of what the competition
challenge would have been, and we'll make it a mini-challenge instead.
