Getting the Challenge

When the website goes live at 4pm this afternoon with Challenge 1 there will be a lot of traffic and you may find it hard to get in. There are ways to reduce the problem. Why not try using the following link to download a text file containing both parts of the Challenge. In theory at least this will be quicker than waiting ofr graphics to load and will help our server to cope. Alternatively we provide an RSS feed which contains text files of the Challenges (when they are given as text files) and links to any needed additional files. You can subscribe to this feed using a news aggregator like Omea or Bloglines in WIndows, Safari or NetNewsWire in Mac OS X or Akregator or Liferea for Linux. The disadvantage with this is it might take a few minutes for the updated rss to propogate, but it does give you a second route to the challenges.
