2009 Award results

Post by pickle »

Hi everyone,

The second round of voting has closed & we still have a tie. Since this isn't a national election, I think three rounds of voting is a bit overkill. The winner list below has been updated along with the graphics the winners can use.

Best Signature: I recuse myself (but I think Pickle's is great!)

But I'm really disappointed in the low voter turnout. It's like a mid-term election in Wyoming, or something.

I'd like to vote (for myself :mrgreen:) but I don't really hang around long enough to pay attention. Mostly I just come in, look for stuff to reply to, post, and go back to being distracted with other things.

Between the two of you for Best Signature... pickle. Sorry califdon but I like pickle's argument versus parameter thing.

Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
