Suspense killing you yet?

Don’t feel alone, I practically have no nails left. (Gotta stop biting them)

Well all I can tell you is that after our two presentations my adrenaline was pumping, it’s almost as if I’m in the competition.

(These main judging presentations were 25 minutes each, which included slides, live demo and Q&A  - butterflies I tell you!)

What great delivery, what a great system. Hey any system that combines both a fuzzy logic and a neural network AI engine reporting into a new technology which the students call a CAE (Central Analysis Engine).

All this to detect and stop network intrusion. Like I said most network administrators would give anything to get their hands on this.

But…. We will only know tomorrow if (or should I say ‘that’) they made it to the next round. (Positive thinking there J)

Well, before I spill all the beans lets see what the students think of their chance.

“So guys, how do you feel now? Reckon you gonna take this one?”

Dem: “It’s too early to say, but the judges seemed excited about our system :-D. Its going to be a tense wait for a day or so, Microsoft really knows how to throw a party!!”

Rob: “Well you never can tell what the judges are thinking; but most of them were quite keen to hear more, they even let us go slightly over-timeJ. I am so nervous and can’t wait till tomorrow when we hear if we go through! ”

Maree: OK, I’ll go along with the whole Alfred Hitchkock thing…I suppose the fact that a judge commented that our CS Dept was obviously “good” means something…They also suggested that the students patent their idea…does this mean they were impressed?
