(my) PDC Contest Winner

I know that Steve and Peter are among the many bloggers eager to find out who the winners to the Blog'n My Way to the PDC contest are... It will no doubt be a fantastic year for the PDC. .NET and Visual Studio are really hitting their strides, and on top of it all, there's Vista (no pun intended). Hey, maybe MS will do an Oprah thing and send everyone who entered, or give us all cars. Actually, I'd rather go to PDC. ;)

Anyway, I wanted to announce the winner to my own contest, the one where I'm giving away a book to a blogger who uses my PDC Contest Entry Generator service.

Well, it turns out that people actually connected to my service and submitted requests! In fact, here's the list of bloggers who took the time to bang some code against my service... Very cool guys! (I'd personally recommend subscribing to their feeds too)

So, as promised, I'm giving away a copy of COM Programming with Microsoft .NET (Paperback), and the winner is.....

Leon Langleyben! Congrats Leon! Please send me your address, via the contact form on this blog.

No women took the challenge? Just like DotNetRocks, "you've cornered the market on middle aged white men"

Heh. Yup G. No women... You've heard of Steve's law right? There are more people named "Steve" on any aggregate blog than there are women total.

Not sure if they should get in, or we should get out...

Wow, so close. Congrats Leon on winning the book.

Thanks Brendan for creating the service. It was fun to play with even though my entry was a little weak. Guess I have to blog more.
