Site News Weekly Coding Challenge We've launched a new weekly contest aimed squarely at those looking for some procrastination. It's extremely casual, the prizes a little random, and the rules negotiable. The point is to have a little fun with code. Each Friday we'll post a challenge or task in Quick Answers under the code-challenge tag. Your job is to code up an answer using whatever language, technique and wild assumptions you wish, and we'll judge the entries on their style, brilliance, entertainment value or shear audacity. A t-shirt a week is up for grabs. Last week's challenge: The bad word filter. Got an idea for a challenge for this week? Send it in to me at chris@codeproject.com. cheers, Chris Maunder Advertisements Need to create Excel Charts?
