Oh look, a picture revealing she has *cleavage* and
a smile! (And a rather nice strapless dress.)
Wait...this is relevant to the IT industry precisely how?
My brain hurts, though if Erin McNaught offers to soothe
my fevered brow, I won't complain... :-) though that hair
looks like it might tickle my nose.
But then, neither will the 99,999,999 or so men who are
probably looking at this picture... :-) Some of them might
be less ticklish, though. Fortunately for her, she already
has a boyfriend who will presumably defend her virtue. Also,
Microsoft has denied hiring her.

How does one watch a static picture? Nice notion,
though, putting a sawblade into a DVD reader. Wish I
could read Dutch.

Hmm...apparently she did pose topless at one point, earning
her the nickname "Erin McNaughty". She was still allowed
to compete.
As for Ms. McNaught's code...closest I can come is

which shows Britney Spears' guide to semiconductor physics.
(Pre headshave, fortunately.)
