September 17 Grand Master ChallengeI've had a lot of inquiry as to the methods I used in completing the challenge at SourceCon so I figured I'd take a moment and explain =] Despite my nature of making things incredibly complex, the answer to this query is actually quite simple. I've been blogging about it for months, it won me the AIRS competition, and once built is the tool I use at the forefront of all my searches. I used my Google Coop for the challenge, nothing more, nothing less. I did try one or two other avenues out of shear panic, given Jim's faulty numbers and nerve wracking commentary which I could hear despite having my ipod on at MAX volume. (I was listening to the String Quartets rendition of "OK Computer - Radiohead" btw) I used some very simple strings which laid on top of the pre-made refinements I use daily in my coops and wallah! If time hadn't been so critical I most certainly would have made the search more complicated and robust, but keeping it simple this time worked really well. Big thanks to Google =] Sorry for the let down? Cheers^^ PS: For those still wondering what the challenge was exactly... We had to find and list as many individuals as possible within a short period of time. The requirements were: 1) Must be female 2) Must currently reside in the US 3) Must belong to some sort of women's organization 4) Must currently hold the title of "Software Engineer" or "Software Developer" Comments (1)
