X-13 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 oh god if I don't win in that I will not be happy!! lol X-13 wins all the prizes.
sparkeh Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Looking forward to Madvent now... Yeah can't wait. Also I have had official confirmation that Al will be wearing this costume for Madvent* http://www.buyfeathers.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/_/m/_mad_hatter_cost_4fadaad0b8185.jpg * By official confirmation I mean I am going to pester him until he agrees. Think I might employ the same tactic as I used with @X-13 and the Patrick Stewart lobster picture. He will see the picture everywhere until he actually goes mad. Then wears the costume. 1
X-13 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Who won? Most geekers would love to say "I did!", but @X-13 was the lucky winner out of the hat PC case. On the app... strikeout markup doesnt work. I wondered what you were implying for a moment.
VeryPC Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 To all Stocktobians: A VeryPC news article congratulating our winners and expressing our thanks to everyone who got involved this year: https://www.very-pc.co.uk/blog/congratulations-to-stocktober2-winners Cheers, Al 4
StevieM Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Any idea when the 'unwanted'/t-shirt swapped out prizes will be up for grabs? Still got my eye on one of those trackball thingimajigs.
VeryPC Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Any idea when the 'unwanted'/t-shirt swapped out prizes will be up for grabs? Still got my eye on one of those trackball thingimajigs. Soon my friend soooooon. Taking care of prize shippery first then we'll be releasing the freebies one at a time gradually throughout November so's not to cause a stampede. I'll be giving a headsup to the Stocktobians on this thread before we post in the classified section so you'll have a decent chance of bagging something you might have missed during the month. Al 2

VeryPC Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 That is awesome! I want! If only it was a real thing that existed in more than pixel form. If it was I'd paint 'Al' on the side of it and go and live up a mountain. Errm... Is it too much to ask for vegetarian sweets? (Haribo are not you see). :-) Veggie sweets - got it. Al
VeryPC Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Just noticed the latest numbers for the thread: Looking more and more likely that we'll beat the total number of views for Stocktober 1 quite soon now. I thought that we'd have difficulty catching up when we were still 15,000-ish away with only a week and a bit left of the actual STOCKTOBER2! month left, but like @X-13 said way back in the thread, the views carry on after October is over. Previous stats: This was capped on 23/10/2013: Wonder where it'll be in a year's time so this thread is as old then as the original is now? Interestingly, the figures for Stocktober TOS were sitting happily and steady at about 44,500 a few weeks back (no cap, but I think this would have been early October 2013 when I was looking at what targets we had to beat), but it looks like a few of you have been reviewing the shenanigans of last year recently and it's had a 2K jump since then. Keep going people, we're not far from making this the awesomest Stocktober thread by all possible numerical measures! Cheers, Al EDIT - I love doing the stats when they keep saying biggerer betterer bosserer Edited November 5, 2013 by VeryPC 1
kaphc Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Just posting to acknowledge yet another view on this thread to add to the stats - I love stats too Al!
StevieM Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 This is what I call dedication: (...or is obsession? I always confuse the two.)
StevieM Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 While I'm here, when I post something that should appear on the next page to one I replied on (eg my previous post), Quick Reply won't allow me to insert an image from my computer or add smileys and such. Sometimes it freezes and I have to reload the page to reply. Anybody else have this issue or is it just me?
VeryPC Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 This is what I call dedication: [ATTACH=CONFIG]21339[/ATTACH] (...or is obsession? I always confuse the two.) It's called insomnia actually. Well, actually that's far too grand a term for it. I just had trouble kipping last night so after failed attempts to nod off I decided it would be easier to head into work rather than risk dropping off so close to when I'm supposed to get up that I sleep straight through my alarm. You get loaaaads done early in the morning when there's no-one else here though - I highly recommend it (not the "insomnia" part though). Al
