TTMMHTM: Hardening WordPress, hard research in space, Pacman text adventure and AOL accessibility competition

Monday, January 26th, 2009 at 9:10 pm

Things that made me happy this morning (already adjusting my time to India, where I am flying tomorrow):

We’re looking for ideas for applications to assist computer and Internet users with disabilities – and we’re going to build them through the competitions of the 2009 TopCoder Open.
Now, we’ve extended the Sensations Developer Challenge Idea Generation contest for two more days, and we’ve thrown some bonus prizes into the mix!
In case three trips to the TCO in Las Vegas and $7,500 in prizes wasn’t enough, AOL will be giving an iPod Touch to five submitters to this contest, selected at random after the new deadline Tuesday, January 27th at 2pm ET.
