I enjoyed the contest regardless. I don't think I've ever refreshed a website that much in my life! | ||

When a mommy and daddy site love each other enough, they make links exists, and 9 months later, a little site thing appears. | ||

Fun trivia: Ever randomly have a site fail to load even though you were just on the site, and then on a refresh it works? This can be due to your ISP blocking ports. Some ISPs in an attempt to control viruses and worms will restrict traffic from certain ports, and if the ISP filters are incorrectly configured and your OS happens to randomly choose the port that is blocked, that one connection will fail. | ||

We aren't all tech geniuses. the tech guru was given a key to distribute in his own manner, so even though i didn't win (and really had no chance because i don't get tech stuff) you can't be bitter about it. grats to winner. NEXT CONTEST PLZ!!!. | ||

Kind of, to change your power level, you had to change at what point you were accessing the data 'from.' The random chance of someone simply winning Rich spoke about that could simply just happen, was someone already being at the right place spamming the refresh and hitting it. Who knows what location that would have had to be from though. | ||

I purposefully picked a port that was outside the range of default ports used by Windows and most routers in an attempt to minimize this. | ||

The reason the number varied is due to your browser opening multiple connections, each with a different source port, or your OS using ports for other programs (eg if you had torrents running, your numbers would probably jump all over the place). It's good to know how this Internet thing works. Fun trivia: Ever randomly have a site fail to load even though you were just on the site, and then on a refresh it works?

There's been 4 keys given out to these clever puzzles. 15 keys were just given out by taking a picture of yourself with a piece of paper, 10 were given out just by writing in a thread the other day, another 10 in IRC. Not to mention all the keys in the scavenger hunt and FFAs. Just look at the numbers and think about them. I wasn't complaining about the puzzle only being solvable by IT-people (and the puzzle + the hints were very clever), but about it not having a disclaimer saying so. I wouldn't mind key contest for the first person to post a video of themself doing a mactwist 1080 in a halfpipe, because I would know I didn't have to waste time trying to do it. | ||
