Yet more post-hunt stuff

[prog]

Today went past in an eyeblink. Slept late, made and drank my own coffee while lounging for an hour in my own living room, then trundled to the Hunt wrap with classicaljunkie for all of that. Had the traditional post-wrap dinner at the Uno's near me with half the team. Poof, dark out, and now its 8.

Hunt recovery will do that to you.

We fell short of making it into the endgame. Really, we didn't come close. Our pace was pretty good, but we were completely overwhelmed with unsolved puzzles by Sunday afternoon. They were hard this year, and there was a lot of them. I personally found it hard to concentrate on any one puzzle, and never really got interested in the whole structure, though that's an entirely subjective complaint that the rest of my team didn't reflect.

Sure I had fun, though - thank you, Dr. Awkward and company!! With a day between me and the coin getting found (congrats again to the Bombers) my appetite for solving's definitely come back. I think I'll be tearing into the latest P&A shortly.

... Wait, that was Zarf?

Zarf has a _livejournal? :-D

(As a member of CMU KGB, our bylaws require me to consider Zarf somewhat of a demigod, since he's responsible for the initial version of our Capture the Flag With Stuff. Also, he writes awesome IF.)

I have a livejournal account, but I never post to it.

(But zarf is fed from updates to my web site.)

Appropriate demigod honors may be rendered at the KGB Reunion this spring. I'll be there.

(Apparently demigods don't know Livejournal formatting.)
