Contest overview
Report Raw Data 
I spent the afternoon updating the Contest overview page, and finishing a perl script I started more than FOUR years ago to auto-generate the page. Talk about procrastination! Anyhow, I dressed things up a bit and made it easy to see what the "current" (if any) contest is. I've got the avatar images displayed half-size, and in the proper aspect ratio now, and winners sorted in reverse chronological order. I've been pondering some visualization of the past contests but haven't come up with anything I like yet. Comments? |

Your work on this is seriously appreciated. Guess I won't enter this month.

script to new contest view page isn't updating correctly. I picked 1008 for personal reasons and it didn't show on the new page that it had been picked. However, when I look at the raw data it shows it was already picked last night... so something isn't updating as fast as it used to or something... time to check the code changes ;) |

Quoted:
At the risk of sounding like an idiot. How do I use this report? How do I determine if a certain number has been picked already? ? Click on "report", scroll down to see what user names have picked which number. ETA: Thanks all for the report and contest. |
