Tokyo Magnitude 8.0

tokyo8m

Well, I will bring an unusual topic today. Even though I love anime, but I never post a single post in this topic, but this interesting series makes me want to post one. 🙂 This anime -which is quite underrated- is surprisingly turn out very well. For some people, it might be boring, but for me, it is interesting since the characters emotion was made real, as well as the earthquake.

The first episode introduce the main character, Mirai and her little brother, Yuuki. Mirai was a pessimistic middle school student, while Yuuki is strong and always give courage to her sister. The story started with Mirai, from school, back to home, and then with Yuuki, both without their parent going together to robot exhibition. The first episode ended when the earthquake happened and Yuuki was still traped inside the exhibition building.

It is not recommended for you to hit the read more, if you haven’t watched the series. 🙂

Google Code Jam qualification round

Finally, Google Code Jam 2009 qualification round has finished. I almost forgot this actually, until there is notification that tell us that the Code Jam has a problem at the beginning and get extended time for 2 hours (even though there is a notification 24 hours before, but I completely forgotten, lol). Finally I can participate in a couple of last hours left.

There is three problem that it is needed to be solved. The problem A is pretty simple, we can just change the pattern to Regular Expression and it’s done. I do it this way, but a little slower on large data. The B case is completely blank for me, never have run into this kind of problem before and I can’t finish it. For the C case, I can finish the small data, but not for the large data. It seems, I still need a lot of practice for better algorithm. 🙂 But at least, I’m advanced to the next round. Let’s see how long I can stand in this competition.
