Thanks for the post Tony!

Christopher: Problems A and B? We didn’t solve A, although we had a good solution using DP that was missing some case. Problem B went pretty quick. We solved in the order: C, B, F, D

Congratulations to the SMU Huskies. The East Central NA Contest is this Saturday (at McMaster University). I’ll make sure my team gets some practice on those problems that you linked.

Damn you sir. I just spent 80 minutes doing the first two, but that was coding in Perl. I really miss the HASH and ARRAY syntax of Perl whenever I venture out into other languages.

Sounds like a really nice festival, It’s sad that not many people know about it…

“No measurable ROI at the moment” + a growing spam issue on twitter = big problems for twitter…….

Thanks Trevor and Ryan for clearing this up. I’ve update the post to more accurately reflect Michelle’s role.

Just to note that the much loved third wednesday supporter, Michelle Yogis, organized the last Third Wednesday but is not the organizer in general. We generally switch organizers once per month. I think Joel Kelly and Ben Boudreau get the cred for organizer so far, and Carman Pirie with Ben Boudreau originated the idea. In the end, this is truly a community driven event owned by noone in particular!

Hey tony,

I think it’s actually organized by Joel Kelly and Darrin Searancke. But I know Michelle Yogis has a lot to do with it as well. Glad you had a good time!

Thanks for this – I was struggling with the Auto Update too, and this has solved the problem.

I copied and pasted the text to the .htaccess file as the very last line of text to answer the above question, and that seems to have done it!

Thanks for the feedback George.

The include method in step 6 is the recommended approach and using admin.site.root is depricated as of django 1.1. See Features deprecated in 1.1.

I incorporate the other corrections. Thanks again.

You add the lines at the end of your .htaccess file on their own; i.e., not part of any other directive. This should work under any OS as long as you’re using apache, but I only tested it under Linux hosting.

I’m having the same problem. It has caused me a headache.

But where exactly do I put the line of code in the .htaccess fil?

Does this only work with Linux hosting or with MS aswell?
