TopCoder

My TopCoder earnings are up to $600 now... I need to just increase my rating for the collegiate competition coming up... big earnings there. ^_^ But seriously, I really need to chill out. I make stupid mistakes when I'm in division I, so my rating doesn't increase very much, or it drops me back into division II... When I'm in division II, I'm pretty confident that I'll butcher the other guys (the last time I was in div II, my rating was almost 200 higher than the guy who was seeded 2nd for my room), and I end up solving the problems very carefully. Of course, my rating increase skyrockets me back into div I, and the cycle continues... And if I can relax (and TEST MORE) in division I, then I can start making serious money!

So what's up with this TopCoder gig? Is this ACTUAL cash we're talking about here? Do you have to get to a certain level in order to pull it out? I'm gonna have to check this out...

Yes, it's actual cash. No, you don't have to be a certain level. Just sign up and start competing. :) It's fun fun fun for everyone. I'm 'aegis', btw. Ranked 88 on the server.
