Our productivity vs hours graph

The last 24 hours have been very VERY eventful. We have suffered loss, joy, pain and there is some very tired people here. With only one area to sleep in and limited mattresses, some people choose their chairs or keyboards to crash out on. Others, like myself, have opted for no sleep.

As the hours pass it is still easy to stay focused but troubles have been brewing. Our code has been re-written a few times, we have had animation troubles and my trusty laptop has decided to get sick, pick up a virus and retire from competition.

The kitchen has been used on and off throughout the day, and while stocks remain high, I see it will slowly diminish as the night draws on. For me, I am attempting to stay up for the rest of the night. We have just started to crawl back after thinking we were safe and on schedule. But tragically the laptop died, we have been hit with now 7 power surges and some animations wouldn't load in the program, many back steps were taken to get things working.

Other teams have been hit on hard times too, I hear Krushr's team was hit with some uncommunicating code, others had unhelpful team mates and well, ideas just not working. It has been a long night for some, and a longer night to come.

Oh no it's there to remind us!

It's still been, mostly, an enjoyable experience and even the loss of a laptop is hard to dampen my spirits. I will admit it is more fun when things are working and you are looking on track. Truna has been lovely in helping us out and even made sure our vitamin C levels were up this morning. The live feed is still going so make sure you jump on as the action heats up!

Tomorrow arvo will be the judging and BBQ, it is still nearly 20 hours away but it feels closer than that. Until tomorrow when I bring the final wrap up and victory! (Hehe, I hope) There is some tough competition here and it will go down to the wire! (There is some more pics here)
