JonPurvis, MatthewBrowne and PerryLorier came first in the [ACM] Regional Programming Competitions in 1999ish, went to Orlando in 2000, and after taking numerous pictures of the insides of JonPurvis's pocket, got an HonoraryMention in the World Finals.

;:The program also keeps a file ~/.grab-hints which has the format "ip lastused cps". ip is the IP address of a server. lastused is the unix time that the server was last used, and cps is the bytes per second transfer rate that we got off that server last time. When selecting which server to d/l from it uses the one with the lowest "cps". The cps value should degrade over time, for instance "cps" every day since lastused, this should be tuneable. if an IP doesn't exist in this file it's cps should be assumed to be "0", so it will be used in preference to any other in the file. This will mean that if you start trying to d/l a whole heap of stuff off "ftp.debian.org" it should try each of the servers in turn, then it will use the fastest one, occasionally retrying the other ones to see if they have improved. Of course if it can't reach a server it should try the next best in the list. If a "MD5SUM" file exists, it should fetch it off one of the *other* mirrors - NOT from the same machine where possible and then verify the file and print a message like "''file'' verified __OK__, or ''file'' __FAILED__ verification. This should be default behavour. The program could also support rate limiting. This program could also distribute hits over the top "n" servers when d/ling. eg: when d/l'ing an [ISO] from say RedHat it could d/l 1mb from ftp.redhat.com, 1mb from ftp.nz.redhat.com, 1mb from another site etc. The first one finished of course d/l's another 1mb chunk. This requires information about which parts of the file have yet arrived. This could very quickly d/l a file.
-* A [MUD] with a very very smart AI for NPC's. Based on Vampires, with PaulMounsey.
* Continue work on UnderNet's [IRC] Server.
-* Try getting WantedPages working in this wiki.
* Add gpg(1)/pgp(1) signing to mailing list software, particularly mailman. All outgoing messages should be signed by the list, or, optionally at the users request, encrypted by the list. Email commands could be ignored if they aren't signed by that user. Incoming messages from users could be verified and rejected if they don't come from a signed key.
