If memory serves, the 1st annual BADGE Killer Demo Contest is due to be
judged at this month's BADGE meeting. I've got the chance to be in the
Bay area around the 19th to 21st of October. Can someone supply me with
the details on where and when? (I know the SF and Marin area a bit, but
don't know more than the general location of Berkley.)
Is it possible to get copies of the entries/winners at the meeting?
Hopefully, Blaine.

.If memory serves, the 1st annual BADGE Killer Demo Contest is due to be .judged at this month's BADGE meeting. Yep, sure will. Actually, the Oneth Annual. It will be held at Turing Auditorium at Stanford University. From 280, take the Page Mill exit (or is it called Oregon Expy there?) heading west. At El Camino Real, head north, past California Avenue, past Serra/Park, past the Town and Country shopping center, and to University Avenue (which is Palm Drive on the Stanford Side.) Take a left on University Avenue (the exit right before the underpass.) From 101, go south until you hit the University Avenue exit; go east on University avenue, until it turns into Palm drive. Now everyone should be on Stanford Campus on Palm Drive. Take a right on Campus Drive. You will make a gradual left turn when on Campus, followed by a more ubrupt right turn. After this right turn, take a left on Via Ortega. Go down a block and a half, and park in either parking lot. Turing is behind the buildings facing the parking lot on your right. The contest will start at 8:00. .Is it possible to get copies of the entries/winners at the meeting? No. Unfortunately, the scores will need to be tallied and that will take a bit. A small donation will guarantee that at least the top three winners will be sent to you; a larger donation is always appreciated. I'm not sure what small is, but it is either $5.00 or $10.00 . . . See you there!

I would think Mr. Proctor would be upset at using the "th" suffix on the number 1. :^) It *used* to be bad style. Besides, this would make next year's the 2th (pronounced tooth?) contest. This could get very confusing. :^O Your reasoning decays at the number 4, where it's the 4th contest irrespective of your counting system, even if it's the fifth time the contest has been held.

I'm not flaming you Blaine, No problem, I agree its a bit silly to call the second contest the 1st, but that's the way its been promoted. 1th? Ok, sounds good to me. So from here on out we've got the 1th, 2th, 3th, 4th (naa, 4th is already taken, 4st?) Annual BADGE KDC? Or should we just call the joke a success and renumber the contests from 1 instead of 0?

We should start refering to this BKD as Badge Killer Demo contest number 1. The first one was of course 0.

How about "The annual BADGE Killer Demo Contest #1"? Or "The #1 annual BADGE Killer Demo Contest"? And "BKDC #1" for short? In other words, drop the "st" and "th" and make it clear that it is an arbitrary numbering scheme. William LeFebvre Department of Computer Science Rice University <phil@Rice.edu>
