exist hackathon 2008

we had this thing at work called hackathon. we only had 12 hours to create an application based on a question given by our director. so tiring but it was worth it. i learned a lot.

at first, i was doubting my ability to learn and code as fast as i can think. but then i did it. i mean, i'm really just a newbie in this RoR world so i don't really know a lot. i was tasked to learn how to work with gruff and i did. i learned it and integrated it into our application.

i got stuck in the middle of the day because my server wasn't working. it wouldn't start up. unfortunately, all seniors were busy. so i had to tinkle around and find a solution. one of those, i solved. i needed some dlls for postgresql. the other thing was solved by one of the seniors. hehe. i couldn't really solve all on my own. but at least i tried. right?

so here's the thing, i got stuck and the solving it part really got me stressed because i was also considering the deadline. good thing somebody helped me. hehe. at least i was able to move on to the next thing.

so we finished our app but then again, i'm not sure if it was working right. some parts were working right. i don't know about some scenarios that i haven't tested though. =D i hope it'll work every time. hehe!

a contest. what is the prize? i don't know yet. but i guess i already got something out of it. i learned. :) that's the biggest thing there. wish me luck!

i hope we win but if we don't, then it's still ok.
