Getting everything in order for the giveaway drawing now. Giveaway results will be posted in an hour at (or around) 18:00 GMT (13:00 EST, 10:00 PST), you have till then to comment in this thread in order to be entered into the drawing.

Alternative winners will also be selected so that if a giveaway recipient doesn’t wish to claim their prize, it’ll go to the next person in the list. Prizes can be swapped between winners if they both agree prior to reaching out to the providers (let’s try and keep the strain on providers to a minimum here and not turn it into a chaotic swap meet). Good luck everyone!

I didn’t even realize I was taking part in a giveaway. Right now I still have my free Lunanode credit to eat up, so it is fair to say, someone else can have my prize :slight_smile: Thanks though!

As much as I respect @FHR, I need another VPS like I need another hole in my head.

I’d love to try it out, but I’m not going to waste his time for something I’m probably not going to keep.

@Mason, maybe you should stack these together and can yourself a new python dev box. :slight_smile:

Probably for the best… we’ve been trying to plug the gaping one in the front of your head for awhile now to no avail.

Heh, I’ve restrained myself heavily this year since I’m actively trying to consolidate all my shit. Ended up not buying a single server even though there were quite a few tempting offers.

Coupon passes to @imok. Get yourself a nice 512MB KVM for a month in CZ for freeeeee! :slight_smile:
