Hey ho!

All you not-yet-joined-STOCKTOBER2!-erers out there, remember entries are still open, so if you get in now you'll be in the draw from tomorrow onwards until your name is drawn (but will be put back before the star prize PS4 draw). To enter just PM me your professional contact details if you are a UK based IT manager/tech type, OR if you've entered a VeryPC competition on EduGeek before, you can just speak up in the thread that you want back in and we'll add you.

 

Good luck for tomorrow everyone!

 

Al

*Tenuous link alert* *Tenuous link alert*

So the talk about repping reminded me of rapping and an excuse to post this.

I can't +rep you Mac... I need to +rep more people first.

 

Rawns, you got some rep for great justice.

 

Ta muchly! :D

Huh... dunno what it means then.

 

@sparkeh gets some tenuous rep for his tenuous rap.

Rep POWER is the rep you can award and is a small portion of your actual reputation (also related to a few other things like time on site, number of posts etc).

 

e.g. X-13 has a rep power of 501, but judging by his stars and bars, he has a reputation score of nearly 15,000 points (brown stars are 3,000)

 

Your rep is heading towards 12,000 at the moment btw

 

EDIT - @X-13 and I were involved in a quite detailed discussion of the significance of the rep icons a while back, I'll see if I can find his calculations.

Yup. That's about right.

*Oof* Being hit with that rep power is like being hit by a bear.

 

Thanks though!

 

"No one man should have all that power

The clocks tickin' I just count the hours"

 

That's all I know... and I only know it because of SR3.

Glad you liked the joke. Maybe the next mini competition could be jokes that are funny enough to make Colin_M laugh in his current state of pain! What do you think @VeryPC Al?

Not a bad idea! We'll let @VeryPC_Colin_M choose the winner from his recuperation bed. But before that...

 

Let's get a few more Morgan Freeman voice impersonations in first though and then we'll have a vote for the best impersonation the winner of which will win a big box full of sweeties. Let's say the cut off on the Morgan freeman mini-competition is midnight on Wednesday 9th October 2013 and we'll run the vote on Thursday and Friday this week (last vote 4pm Friday 11th October 2013).

 

I know I don't need to reiterate this really, but let's make sure we keep the impersonations tasteful EduGeekers!

 

Cheers,

 

Al

Good luck to { any / every } - one else who has or will shortly do the Morgan Freeman impersonation !!

 

edit - does that mean anyone who has already done an impersonation can re - try ?

As there is no chance in hell of me doing a Morgan Freeman impression, did you say we could send things in? Like pictures etc?

 

Same rules as last year.

 

Post random pictures in the thread.

If they end up on the wall... BONUS ENTRY!

I wait all weekend excited at the prospect of a prize at long last (I don't win many things) and then all I win is a pack of obsolete RAM!

 

I think I feel an art project coming on...maybe some sort of mobile using RAM modules...might keep some kids quiet for a while :)

 

Despite the disappointment over the prize I shall at least bask in the glory of winning for once...

 

Thanks Al and all at VeryPC
