I had a lot of fun last night doing the HTML OHC. I know some of you roll your eyes at this. It's not music; it's not pixels. But it is a battle and it is a way to express creativity.

http://battleofthebits.com/arena/OHC/739/ -- i won! :P

So, after the OHC we discussed what 'no hotlinking' means in terms of HTML OHCs. It means embedding content from another web server. So, if you wanted to display BotB images like an avatar or icon, that's fine. For my entry, I submitted a .zip file so I could include the jQuery library. We decided, in the IRC, that BotB should allow this format to 'hotlink' Google's developer api libararies --

Remember, BotB can host multiple OHCs at a time. If someone really wants to do music or pixels during a different type of nerdy battle, BotB can handle it! But do you have three or more participants?!!? :D/

hah, awesome! I'd join one if it's hosted at a friendly time for a member of the European workforce :P
