T-shirts are here

—srikanth @ 19:10

And finally, the t-shirts are here!

Here are a few (blurry) pics of the final shirt:

We’ll get in touch with the winners really soon to see how we can get the shirts to you folks.

We’re also trying to work out a way to put the T-shirts online in a cafepress style website of some sort so that anyone can get one (without us having to run around for printing them :-) ).

Should I name this?

—devadutta @ 21:33

Plain text question for a change. What is this?
Romeo, a young man of Verona.
Juliet, a young woman.
Hamlet, a temporary variable from Denmark.
The Ghost, a limiting factor (and by a remarkable coincidence also
Hamlet’s father).

                Act I: Interview with the other side.

                Scene I: At the last hour before dawn.

[Enter the Ghost and Juliet]
