The Geeks will run two contests from August 1st through August 5th.

The first contest will be a daily contest where the Gizmo of that day is given away. On each Gizmo of the Day from August 1st to August 5th there will be a clue to a code somewhere on our site. The first registered user to post a comment to the Gizmo of that day revealing the code will win that Gizmo of the Day! It sounds a little more complicated than it really is I promise!

The second contest involves gathering all the non-winning comments from each of the days from August 1st through August 5th and the Geeks will randomly choose a winner. How simple is that?

There are a couple of rules:
1) Only one prize per person;
2) If person does not live in US, a gift certificate to either Amazon or Apple iTunes will be presented for $20 instead of the Gizmo of the Day.

The Geeks have found a web hosting company that supports our framework and deals with database driven sites much better than Web Site Source. After WSS dropped the ball again today, we went ahead and made the move to Site5. So far we’ve been extremely impressed with the help we’ve received.

Update to Web Site ProblemsRead More »

We had to switch from our old web hosting company because we became one of their largest (if not the largest) bandwidth customer and figured we needed a larger hosting company. Unfortunately, we chose Web Site Source and have had now four different times in three weeks where the site was unusable or completely broken thanks to various issues!

We apologize for the problems and are looking for a new web hosting company as we speak. If you have a suggestion, please send [email protected] an email with their information.

By the way… check on the new poll in the left column!
