Did you send in an entry to the aforementioned competition? And did you receive an acknowlegdment email?

yes i did. No email from them.

yes i did, no acknowledgement email yet, although i got a response to an enquiry mail, only after a week. the email extends the deadline to friday 28th


please share your experience with the competition, were u able to complete it, if not, where did you halt?

as for me. i didn't touch the sponsor page, PMO admin and the bank admin.
but murdered the rest.
May be the best win.

I completed it to the best of my ability. The feature I really had fun implementing was the email part. stretched me but I nailed it. Their twitter handle just tweeted at me that entries are being collated, shortlist will be announced by october 10th and the winner by october 15th. May the best man win.

what was the content of the test?

In case you missed it http://commtech.gov.ng/downloads.html

From my logs, I can see that my application was tested today by somebody from the ministry of comm tech.

well i got a visit too, ip resolves to intel corporation
i think it's too early to share links.

you did that with python?

Absolutely. October 10th. The shortlist comes out.

you did a nice and clean job.

Thanks @webdezzi

I also sent an entry, my app was tested extensively by someone with a nitda.gov.ng email ad.

Shortlist is coming out tomorrow....gen gen....

today is the day.

I just got this message from them on twitter:


@ngrcommtech: @Lord__Farquaad @oluremithefish @pystar over 60 entries received, tested and evaluated. Shortlist announcement by end of day Friday

I think it is still too early to share links.

@webdezzi with your strong belief that you would win, I didnt think you would develop cold feet at sharing links even if its done privately. LOL

DDOS is easy to setup these days bro.
will trade links after the shortlist. #promise

LOL
