Sometimes windows just goes strange… Mainly outlook… As if the computer has thought that I am pressing the alt key or something all the time. I try to type an upper case “I” and a menu comes up… pressing other keys does other things. It is really really strange. Changing to another application helps sometimes I think… No matter what it seems to dissapear after about a minute. Very strange. I am thinking it is something like ‘Sticky Keys’ in windows turning itself on… But I have no idea. I also occasionally have the voice functions in word trying to turn themselves on. <\/p>\n

The International Obfuscated C Code Contest <\/h2>\n

The Obfuscated C contest has opened again. I have not looked at what you win if you win, but you can find more details on their Web Site<\/a>. This is one contest for the really perverse code authors. I would have no hope of winning. My mind is not that demented. I have included a past entry below. If you can work out what it does by just looking at it, you are better than I am. <\/p>\n

They even give out an award for the worst abuse of the rules. And they award prizes to entries that cause them to change the rules for future years. <\/p>\n
