Remember that entries are still open throughout the month, so plenty more chances to win. If you're on EduGeek, work in IT and have a UK address we can ship to then you can enter by PMing this account with your professional contact details (name, place of work, job title and work email at least please).

 

Congrats to our winner (can anyone work out who it was? Bonus entry for the first correct guess posted!). We'll PM you shortly to confirm which prize you want etc.

 

Thanks for watching!

On web version:

 

Turn on full shoopdewoop [it's letters I can't remember] editor in the usercp. [shows previews]

Double click image.

Set it to medium.

Hey, never knew that. I've been attaching, going advanced, getting the URL of the attached image and then using an image tag with that address, but you get the image twice doing that, once in the post and once as a thumbnail for the attachment. I dun feel so dumb now I know good interwebbing!

▲this.

I see what you did there.

@VeryPC - How to tell you've made it in the world: The Director of Marketing & the Director of Chirpiness sing a theme song that you've written, back to you in a video on the Edugeek forum.

Congrats @JJonas

 

Hmm isn't @nephilim already on max entries, as I'm the next person to name him.... *wink*

[mac_shinobi]

If any of us who are on max entries win another chance to get an extra bonus entry - can we then nominate someone who does not have max entries to get that additional bonus entry ?

 

Just asking / a thought etc

[JJonas]

Yes Garry, yes! Me!

I didn't see you.

 

I just saw some shifty guy with glasses nearly drop a tablet... And obviously you're too cool to drop tablets.

[featured_spectre]

I dont want additional entries, I am just getting the names asap so as to prevent anyone else getting additional entries *sly grin*

@VeryPC - Al - I think you need to lay down the law against things like this ....... ??

No worries, you put off other people for me to sneak in.

 

Maximum bonus to sparkeh! *clap clap clap*

As opposed to darkening reflexes?

[mac_shinobi]

As opposed to darkening reflexes?

 

As opposed to en-lightening !!

Does that make your MD "Aaargh I've Dropped it!" Andy?

 

Or maybe Hopeless Hopton?

Andy "don't give him the baby" Hopton.

 

It's all a masterful act though, all so he gets out of looking after the kidlets.

[VeryPC]

can't believe @JJonas won!

Yup, but you have already earned your 'name the winner' bonus (plus you are maxed out on 3 entries with your piccy bonus too)

 

 

I'll take that bonus entry.

Congrats @JJonas

Hmm isn't @nephilim already on max entries, as I'm the next person to name him.... *wink*

Since the first guesser @nephilim did not need the bonus, I'll award a bonus to each of @X-13 and @sparkeh in this particular case (maxes you both out on 3 entries).

 

 

If any of us who are on max entries win another chance to get an extra bonus entry - can we then nominate someone who does not have max entries to get that additional bonus entry ?

I dont want additional entries, I am just getting the names asap so as to prevent anyone else getting additional entries *sly grin*

In future lets go with this: if you are the first to guess correctly, but have already earned a 'name the winner' bonus for yourself or are on the max 3 entries already, you MUST nominate another entrant to receive the bonus, otherwise I will pick one at random. Thanks for the suggestion @mac_shinobi

EDIT - Another thing. If we draw out a green Will Meally made 'avatar', the deal is off. No-one gets a bonus entry for reading out a name from the video!
