I wanted to formally extend my congratulations to Blake Loring, the winner of the Tech Talk Giveway – a HP Proliant Microserver.  Blake was selected from 33 entries submitted on my blog.  The selection process was completely random.  I wrote a MySQL view with a seeded rand() statement to select the winner a week before I posted the contest, so I tried to be as fair and unbiased as I could with the selection.

I am pretty happy with the response for my first giveaway and I want to extend my thanks to all who promoted and participated with the contest.  It gave me ideas for future contests and giveaways, so stay tuned!

From my week at HP Discover, HP and Ivy Worldwide have awarded me one HP Proliant MicroServer to give away to ONE lucky reader.  So, I want to award the MicroServer to someone who can come up with an  innovative way to use the server in their home or office.  There are just two steps to enter the contest:

1) Leave a comment below with how you would use a HP Proliant MicroServer in your home or business.  The winner will be randomly selected from the approved comments using SQL and a seeded number I have pre-chosen.

2) Tweet one (or both) of the following during the contest to promote it.

The HP Proliant MicroServer is a home or small/medium business server with a small footprint.  It is energy efficient, quiet and scales up to 8GB of RAM and 8TB of storage.  The giveaway includes an upgraded model with a dual-core 1.3 Ghz AMD Athlon II NEO processor, 3GB of RAM, a DVD-ROM drive, 250GB hard drive and 3 years of 4 hour response 13 x 5 support from HP.  This package is valued at $600.  For more information, see the HP Proliant MicroServer Datasheet and the video below.
