MAX TELL THEM ABOUT THE IPOD NANO YOU WON FOR THE 5th ANNIVERSARY DEAL
Can do. So last year, something like a week just after registering, I see Chris posting to all members something amongst the line of "Hey guys come on! Nobody registered to the contest." So I was like WTF, so i submitted my photos and went up against a couple of leeching noobs who voted for themselves 489 times on the same IP and I won! Bam, 2 gb ipod nano at my door 4 to 6 weeks later. Moral of this story: Participate!! The photos are still in the contest thread i think. I think.

My usb key just broke down, so I'd really like that, but the t-shirts kick ass too. Good job on the swag Chris.

I am going to run a SQL query at the end of each month on the tutorials and snippets submitted after the first of that month. The query will pull 1 random record, whoever submitted that tutorial or snippet is the winner that month.
So, yes, the more you submit, the more chances you technically have since it increases your odds of being drawn.

Cool. I have a 512 MB Thumb Drive. But a 1 GB sounds graet. Im learning a lot of good stuff in my engineering math. I could write a dozen of programs using algorithms I learn. Great promo Chris!!

Just a quick update, I had a last minute offer made and we were able to get the Orange USB Swing Drive with black cover. These will also come with a black lanyard.
I'll update the pictures as soon as I have a new mock-up.
