The stakes are low because I have to pony up the cash if I lose--my budget's limited, and regardless of how confident I am of winning, if I put up a lot, my wife will kill me dead for making the challenge and, well I think I'd rather avoid that. :)

Especially as you'd automatically lose if your wife were to kill you. :)

Shall we, then, arrange the details at OSCON 2003, if you'll be there? I expect we can twist the conference organizer's arm into letting us make a tiny announcement near the end...

Sure. We should do this as a lightning talk in the Python lightning track.
