10.000! OMG!!!

So, here we are – post 10.000!

I started to calculate how much time I spent writing all of those posts but then I got scared and stopped.

I always say that I will quit as soon as the Fix isn’t fun anymore but I can’t imagine how that should happen. Of course, from time to time I have to force myself to write an update but those days are very rare.

The Fix allowed me to meet so many people (sadly only a few in person), most of them awesome, some of them... not so awesome. But I am very glad that I have these opportunities and that I have you, my loyal readers, who show me every day that this blog is totally worth the work I put into it. Thank you!

I also have to thank again all of the companies that contributed to the prize pool – it is so good to see old companions who are friends of the Fix from the very start, big companies that don’t need to care about a small blog like mine, but do, and especially those who contacted me themselves to offer a prize. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The Big 10K is by far the biggest give-away the Fix ever had – more than 30 prizes and over 700 entries. So no more sentimental babbling, here are the winners!

I would like to say a huge thank you to all the contributors, it is awesome to get this kind of support as a token of appreciation for what I am doing!

What do you have to do? Well, we keep it simple:
Just send an email to ttf.contest@gmail.com and include your name, too. That's all you need to do!
The give-away runs until I hit post 10.000 - That will be in a couple of hours (see above)!
(Please note: With entering the contest you agree that your name will be published if you are one of the winner).

Important: Entries are limited to one per email-address.

I know that some people will try to enter multiple times with multiple addresses, but to be honest, it would be just to much work to check all entries and to try to clarify if someone entered more than once. But on the other hand, it is hard to predict how many entries will get and how much work it would be to check them all... In the end it's still a random number generator that will decide, therefore just trust in your Karma :) 


Additionally, prizes are shipped directly from the contributors and we have no influence on delivery)
