Is there a way to mine this with gpu now or only cpu?

Q: So is it CPU only? Will I be able to use my Butterfly Labs ASIC when it arrives (... any day now...)?
A: Using Keccak as a hashing function renders current Bitcoin ASICs and the upcoming Scrypt ASICs useless on the coin. GPU parallelization of Keccak is possible but currently does not exist for mining with our implementation of SHA-3.

Ye I did read that, but with the talk earlier of a gpu miner and the pool being scrypt for cgminer I thought maybe they has decided to go gpu.

Just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something and I was ready for the release tomorrow same as everyone else.
