I was also able to write a run a few simple programs in my favorite languages, and finally figured out how to share my home directory to Windows machines with Samba (although I'm sure shared folders would have worked too). Lastly, I set up a DropBox account so I should have no problems uploading my final submission.<br /><br />For a while I was only going to have access to a 32-bit machine, so I was a bit concerned about putting 72 hours of hard work in only to be disqualified in the end, concerned enough to consider changing my choice of language (C++). But it sounds like most 32 bit binaries should just work, the organizers will be accomodating to those that don't, and anyways I have a 64 bit machine now, so it's all good. :-)<br /><br />Thanks for all the hard work you've put in organizing this year's competition! I know you have to put up with a lot of complaining, but all in all the ICFP contest is a consistently fantastic competition, put together entirely by hardworking volunteers, and I look forward to it every year. I have every reason to believe this year will be no different.cashtonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8096649224794233061.post-57555423366912418082011-06-15T22:12:45.987+09:002011-06-15T22:12:45.987+09:00No, as stated in
