Continued from Day 1, Day 1.5, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4…

• Needed to lookup location for tonight's Ask party. Decided to ask Ask's new Local service. Everything was all well and good until I got to the mapping page, which choked in IE7. Had to flip back to Yahoo! Maps, which also choked when I tried to enter in the club's name and its city. Apparently, it needed the specific address, too.

Hey all. As you very well know by now, I've been generating leads for TextPayMe at a pretty steady pace – to the point where I'm not deleting comments with self-referential links in them. I've built up enough requests to receive four Xbox 360s for free – but two of those will be going to friends of mine. Yes, that's right – I'm giving away two of my free Xbox 360s. Which friends, you might ask? Why, they'll go to my friends who have signed up for Gnomedex 6. How's that for an added bonus? Chances of winning will increase, the more Xbox 360s I win. Right now, odds are 1 in 150 that you (as a pre-registered Gnomedexer) will get one of my free Xbox 360s for free. I realize the event isn't until late June, but we'll likely sell out long before then – and that's when the drawing begins. So, to recap – the more Xbox 360s I receive by referring people to sign up for TextPayMe, the more I'll be able to give away to registered Gnomedex 6 attendees. That's potentially a win-win-win-win proposition.
