Jul 13, 11:56: I must be an hour out but the theme is protect/gaurdian I have given myslef 4hours to come up with a design based on the theme. So this is what I am doing…
Jul 11, 18:00: Bought a USB memory on Thursday to stay portable. (60 US Dollars) Still expensive in our part of the world.
Jul 13, 11:30 CET: Woke up and found out the theme. Now I have to find a good idea quickly.
Jul 13, 05:37: It's 1:30 GMT (more than 8 hours after the competition started) and I still haven't got a clue what to write. My desktop does look nice though.
Jul 12, 21:00: Ooops, time was in ET not MT, I just lost 2 hours - Theme = Protect
