Sister of the Uber-uber Geek

My baby brother just won the The International Obfuscated C Code Contest

For the second time in a row.
(This is not unheard of but still pretty rare)
And whereas last time he got the encouraging "Most likely to amaze", this time he was voted Best of Show :-)

I am exceedingly proud of him and only a tiny bit jealous.

OMFG.

Wow, that is rather spectacular - I have a new claim to fame now! I know the sister of the guy that won the Obfusicated C Contest!

Wow! I used to be a C hacker (long ago), so I know just how clever he must be.

You would think it was good! You write in a write only language! *grins, ducks and runs*

That's pretty kewl! Of course when I was about in my twenties that would have been way way kewl but some how I have grown old, sensible and the kind of person who makes people have code reviews to ensure that code isn't obfuscated.
