Congratulations! You are a Community Credit Winner! (8/1/2006 12:25:36 AM)

Hello
Richard,

    Congratulations. You won 12th Prize in
the July 2006 Contest. As you may know, a lot of people competed, but only a few
won. Nicely done! Please also keep in mind that your prize is not just a stupid,
geeky gift, but it’s also a symbol to represent your contributions to the
development community. When folks ask you how you won, you can tell them that it
was by helping out other geeks. Be proud and brag.

Below you will find
the details of your prize.

splendor.  Apu is probably my favorite Simpsons character and you
must really love the signs posted in front and around the
counter

My Programming Mantra

I read a variety of technical blogs.  Some are agile, some are
pragmatic, while others are iffy, lazy, angry or corporate.  Most of them
have extensively documented approaches to programming, and zealots of each
approach engange in long blog battles over why they’re right and everybody
else is an idiot.  I don’t really have a name for my approach, but my
entire programming philosophy can be boiled down to a single mantra:

I will not write a Daily
WTF

This is what I repeat to myself everytime I open Visual Studio or Enterprise
Manager (“Enterprise Damager” as my network buddy Brad calls it).  I like
it because there’s no rational counterpoint.  No matter how many specs I
have, nor how many meetings I’ve endured, in the end, it all comes down to my
mind and its control over 8-10 of my fingers (I’m not a very good typist, so
sometimes I only use 6 fingers).

Congratulations! You are a Community Credit Winner!

Well, it’s not quite the Powerball, but still pretty cool:



Congratulations. You won 8th Prize in the April 2006 Contest. As you may know, a lot of people competed, but only a few won. Nicely done! Please also keep in mind that your prize is not just a stupid, geeky gift, but it’s also a symbol to represent your contributions to the development community. When folks ask you how you won, you can tell them that it was by helping out other geeks. Be proud and brag.


My prize was Polarity; you can see the other prizes from last month at http://www.community-credit.com/CommunityCreditPrizePage.aspx (as well as this month’s prizes).



Utilizing the forces of magnetism, players take turns placing hovering magnetic discs on the board in order to impose chaos on their opponent. This chaos, which causes discs that are in play to come together in a flash of magnetic frenzy, results in scoring opportunities. Stacks of more than one disc (towers) are counted as points and the player with the most points at the end of a game wins. Those are the basics.


Want to compete for June?  Get on board at www.communitycredit.com.  This month’s prizes are totally cool, so don’t sign up yet.  Seriously.    Wait until June.
