Re: Does the college name count?
I'm only in my first year here at the University of Michigan. I'll admit, part of my decision to come here was influenced by the prestige of Michigan Engineering. However I quickly learned that in...

Re: Forethought: A Must-Read Before Posting
I would like to say something about this topic that is often overlooked. It happens a lot on the Chief Delphi forums, and I wonder if I’m the only person it bothers.

That was a great moment. Ironically, it was the only match our camera man was not able to record. So, if anyone has video of that match (it was the first match of the finals, I believe) we would love...

Re: adding your site to Google®
Don't do this. If you submit your site too many times in a short period of time they will not add your site to their database for "spamming" them. You just have to wait, which is unfortunate because...
