Hello all. I noticed that there was an IORCC 2005, but that the site had lanquised and that only the blogspot url still remains active. To this end, I took the initiative to register [iorcc.org](http://iorcc.org) in hopes that we could carry on an obfuscated coding challenge. So, this is to announce the International Obfuscated Ruby Coding Contest 2006. Entries to be accepted until November 30th, and winner(s) to be decided by December 31st, 2006. Right now, as this is a small project in what little spare time, updates will be sparse and there’s no mailing list or anything to inform people of what’s going on, so you will just have to keep checking [http://iorcc.org](http://iorcc.org) (once a week will probably suffice). As well, I’m of the opinion that we should have two categories - one for those coding with “pure” ruby (only the built in classes, modules, and methods, listed here : [http://www.rubycentral.com/ref/](http://www.rubycentral.com/ref/)) and one for those who want to use extensions and other things. Any thoughts? Phil ---
