here is a cat and some pumpkins

I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars.

I hear everybody that you know is more relevant than everybody that I know.

Decided its going to happen regardless of how many is involved ;P. Need photos plz, k thx.

You can email them, send them on FB, find me in IRC.

The cork must go on!

Looks like the JS I use for the protest isn’t taking the entire site down like usual, but rather just adding a banner. So we’ll be up, but please read the banner and share.

Thanks for looking!

Just a heads up, we’ll be taking the site down in protest of the NSA for the 4th. We’ll be back up on the 5th.

Cheers,
Josh

Though some people were willing to participate, there doesn’t seem to be enough interest for this years cork. Maybe next year.

Jamie.

Its been an outstanding year. There were high quality submissions in all categories.

I have the ratings recorded and I’ll go through and tally up the averages. I’ll have the results posted tomorrow.

Stay tuned!

Firstly, and as always, thank you for all the support in the contest. In terms of both donations and submissions we have had a wonderful year. There are a number of contenders for each category and the competition should be a good one.

Voting/Rating

Its very important for everyone to get out there and review all the submissions and throw down a rating. The more ratings we have the more accurate the scores will be. I will be sure to nag everyone on the site throughout the week.

Ratings that are counted in the contest will be open until 5/11. The week long period will help ensure we get a decent number of reviews.

Also, like in years past I’ll be keeping an eye on reviews that give very high ratings to only one submission in the contest. This generally happens when a screenshot is posted on DevArt or something similar and the author asks visitors to come to PF and drop 100’s on their submission. While its wonderful to have visitors come in and participate, its not fair to the other contestants if visitors rate only one entry highly and then leave.

So you’re encouraged to to promote your entries, but please ask reviewers to rate other entries as well.

Thanks and good luck!

Get those submissions in – the deadline is the end of today!

Just your friendly reminder that we have 1 week left before the SSC deadline on 5/5. Get those submissions in!

The prize pot for SSC 13 is currently at $130.

We have very generous donations from:

Ether: $50
Thomax: $10
Neiio: $20

plus the $50 I put in.

Submissions are starting to pour in already with a couple that I think will be contenders.

I think we’ll have voting open the entire week after the deadline (5/5), so voting will be open until 5/11. During the weekend I’ll tally up the numbers and present the winners.

A word about voting: its very important that everyone get out there and vote. The more ratings we have per submission the more accurate the process will be.

Also, you can promote your submissions outside of PF of course, but if you’re going to be soliciting votes for your own submission, please ask that the voters vote on the other submissions as well. It wouldn’t be fair if there’s a bunch of people who sign up to the site, vote 100’s on one submission and then leave. We’re not looking for a popularity contest.

Best of luck!

OK here’s what I’ve decided on the rules for this year’s contest.

5 Categories:

• Windows
• Linux
• OS X
• Mobile
• Mockup

Prize money and kudos will be given out to the highest scoring submission in each category excluding the Mockup category (if you want money and kudos prove that concept).

The due date will be 5/5/2013. I’m not going to sit around and workout all the timezones but don’t submit it 24 hours late and expect it to be included.

I’ll create a new categories on the site for each of this year’s categories. In order to enter the contest, please submit to one of the new categories and include “SSC” in your submission’s title.

If anyone would like to donate some monies to the prize fund that would be super awesome. You can Paypal the money to my account (joshua DOT klina AT gmail DOT com). I’ll tally up all the donations and list them in a Thank You announcement. Bubba thanks you also.

Post comments, questions, errors, etc here. Good luck folks and thank you for keeping the tradition alive :-D

Its about that time again. Need to come up with some dates and some ground rules. Thinking early May. Any suggestions?
