OK, here's a promo for this years programming comp at UNSW.
If you would like:

- a mentor to come to your school
- a talk about computing at university

Then post the name of your school, and a teacher to contact.

The higher comp 1A students have had a chance offered to them to volunteer to go out to schools and speak/answer Qs about computing. It's computing at uni, like McLake said, and also computing in general.

Our lecturer gave us explicit permission to bitch about computing at UNSW if we are that way inclined, so we're not whoring for the uni or anything.

We will also be making random train-related noises (I suspect *choo choo* and *Thomas is coming to get me!* will be favourites). It's all to do with our major project, which was to control how to direct trains around increasingly complex networks (the project was dubbed "The Fat Controller").

How much do you want to bet this will be in the final exam ...

*Toot-toot*

That sounded OK, even if you didn't get to play with trains ...
