Follow the Leader on Twitter

As we approach the 5PM deadline for the Early Bird prize, the lead has already changed four times with submissions from four different people since we entered Daylight. When a new entry takes the top spot, I wanna hear about it.

Twitter provides the solution. Whenever the lead changes, we post to contestleaders. There are lots of ways to subscribe to this channel on Twitter, including RSS, IM, and SMS. After creating a free account, I configured it to send me a text message whenever there was an update. Now I can stop hitting reload and get back to work on R2008b, knowing that I’ll be notified immediately.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
