Online cookie contest!
Nov. 29th, 2004 12:06 pmContest Announcement: Combine two pieces of data from this post to construct a URL that will provide you with more information on how I generate the on-the-fly image above.
Prize: A snail-mailed bag of cookies! I intend to send a bag to everyone who causes an appropriate line to appear in my website logfile.
Group effort: The cookies go to the person assigned the IP address at the moment when a winning URL was issued. Splitting the spoils with any helpers you might have had is *your* problem.
Extra credit: My program raw.php (now in color!) contains three "Easter eggs": files for which the content it shows is not the same as what's actually on Furtopia's hard drive. One of the three is raw.php itself -- it hides its own Easter eggs! (I amuse myself here by linking to the Greatest Hack Ever.) For a double-shipment of cookies, send me an email naming one of the other files and saying how you know that raw.php is lying about that file's content.
Hint: No way! I've already made this too easy. RL cookies cost real money, you know!
Deadline:
Oh, and I've returned from my vacation at Disney World. Here are some cynical pictures.

Psst! The contest is actually really easy. It's just an excuse to send people cookies at this time of year. The main thing you need in order to win is a willingness to suspend your disbelief that you can't possibly be any good at "this sort" of competition.
As for sending cookies to the UK, my brother-in-law in Iraq says the cookies my wife baked for him were still edible even though they were a month old by the time he got to eat them. (Sheesh! Even being 50 years old didn't save him from the draft...)
