Hi everyone!
It’s Christmas! Everyone likes to get something for Christmas, so I thought it would be nice to do a blog give-away. I’m doing this in the form of a questionnaire, so it’s easy to get responses through.
What am I giving away? Well, to one lucky winner, I will be giving away the following:
- a Raspberry Pi Zero – the cute little board itself.
- an Essential Raspberry Pi Zero Kit (from The Pi Hut) – everything you need in terms of adapters and headers plus some handy rubber feet. And it comes in a tin. Everyone likes tins 🙂
- a RasPiO GPIO Ruler – an easy guide to using GPIO with the Raspberry Pi… and it’s a ruler. (Here’s a link to my pre-production sample review. Short version: 10/10, I love it)
Now, I can’t guarantee it will reach you by Christmas, especially if you’re non-UK, but I will get the package sent out on Saturday morning.
So, how do you enter? Easy, you fill in this form. The winner will be selected at random, hopefully by a Raspberry Pi (if I get round to it, via some other kind of randomised jiggery pokery if not).
Don’t worry, I won’t use your contact details or pass them on!
The give-away closes on Saturday, 19th December at 8am.

This is a wonderful thing to give away at this time of year (well at anytime really).
Looking forward to reading much more of your articles (yes I do read them!) in the new year. In the meantime have a great Christmas.
Regards
Greg
Thanks Greg. Glad someone’s out there reading it! 🙂 Merry Christmas 🙂
And how’s this for a little script suitable for a Raspberry Pi draw machine?
#!/bin/bash
file=”names.txt”
lines=$(cat “$file” | wc -l)
random=$[1 + $[ RANDOM % $lines ]]
line=$(head -n $random “$file” | tail -n 1)
echo “The winner is: $line ($random of $lines)”
Populate names.txt with the name and email address (on the same line) and it will output the winner.
Genius. Who needs Python? :p Thank you!!!
He’s not alone ^^
I use you RSS feed on my Home Automation Dashboard since a few months. Great site, great articles and Happy Holliday everyone !
Oh, that’s just cool 🙂 Thank you! 🙂 Merry Christmas!
put that I was going to build a drone with it… changed my mind… automated beer brewing! (I’ll do both at some point)
Oh yes. Beer FTW. 🙂
