A hearty congratulations goes out to Daniel Anderson, our very first competition winner who’s right now enjoying a good game of Half-Life 2.
Half-Life 2
More competitions will be on their way so stay tuned to Mark Attack to keep up to date.
Commiserations to everyone who took part but didn’t win. I’d like to personally thank you for subscribing, and you’re guaranteed to receive a good natter in your inbox at least once a month.
I hope all of you enjoyed Simon’s first article a few days ago, I know I did. I’ve already received lots of good feedback on it, and if you want to take part in a discussion, always remember that every article has it’s own threaded comment system. Think of it like a mini-forum for each article posted.
It also supports logging in via OpenID, so if you already have another account with another website that supports it, you don’t even need to log in here to have all your settings and user pictures at your disposal. Now that is something I personally could take a massive liking to.
OpenID is a great system. Secure, fast, decentralized (meaning no one server has all your details), and supported worldwide. If more websites would adopt it, then hey, there may not be any need for Roboform, Keepass, Lastpass or any other login detail managers. What a wonderful world that would be. Change your password on one site, it changes on all of them. Lovely.
Anyway, I ramble.
I’m currently preparing my next article for the website, on the whole “free country” premise in the UK, or lack thereof. Of course, due to Simon’s gold star article, I think I may have to pull out all the stops on this one to prevent the website being renamed “Simon Says. With His Assistant Igor Mark”.
Anyhow, have a good day today chaps and chapettes, for my Canadian friends, happy Canada day for the 1st July just gone, and for my American friends, happy 4th July today! Aaaand for anyone else who may be having a national holiday today, happy <insert holiday name here>!
