As many of you will know GOOC 2009 is in full swing with many countries completed their internal competitions with the winning competitors moving onto the regional finals to take up one of the four highly sort after positions in the world finals at Computex in Taiwan in June.
For myself I competed in Australia against very tough competition of Dino, Tim and Peter, sadly James was too sick to attend. Dino took out the competition with an extremely strong showing with myself coming second, Peter third and Tim fourth.
Dino and I then parterned up to represent Australasia in the Pan-Asia Africa regional finals, with teams consisting of Australia/New Zealand, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Korea, Malaysia/Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam
The competition took place on April 5th 2009 in Pantip Plaza Bangkok Thailand. The organisers of this event did an absolutely phenomonal job and this massive IT mall was a buzz of energy with everything that was going on as part of GOOC 2009.
Dino and I had strategised a particular game plan and had key responsibiities that we had prepared for prior to the event, so on the day we knew exactly what each of us had to do and could do it as quick and efficiently as possible. The overclocking gods blessed us for the most part with solid hardware, though we still had one bad graphics card and a borked vista install. With CPU speeds of 5.1ghz for 2D and 4.9ghz for 3D, saw us through to victory at the Pan-Asia regional finals. Now we move onto the world finals where we wil compete against five other teams. Three from the remaining regional finals, the world final winners from GOOC 2008 as well as the freestyle winners from GOOC 2008.
The North American finals will be on the 25th April 2009 in LA, USA, with many of our OCF members taking part. Of the members that I know that are attending so far are El<(')>Maxi, Gautam, rdrash, Ross, sno.lcn, MIAHALLEN, Gomeler and TiTON, so many good friends in attendance, I really do not know who to cheer for, so I wish you all the best, have fun and I look forward to seeing the winners in Taipei in early June.

I've been sleeping with my EX58-UD4P under my pillow every night in hopes of it imparting some hidden knowledge upon me
