Contest
Yes, it's the last day to win the $500 contest.
I "sold" 2 Blog Buffet(same family) since yesterday which means that if they don't win the $500, they may still will be fully reimburse(Blog Buffet only) or upgraded to Blog Buffer(1 entry so far). Why? Because they have bought a package, they will be eligible for the 15 second prizes. Unless I have a flood of entries, and sell many packages today, their odds are very very good. 
Other news
My own computer decided to give me memory/booting troubles. It always reboot after a few minutes and that's if I can login because it reboots sometimes before that. So for now, I only have 512MB out of my 2Gig. I did test all memory modules yesterday with MemTes86 v3.2 which gave errors on 2 of them but hang on the others. Maybe it's a too old version. Anyway, I will need to test further.
I was able to get in Safe mode(last night) so far without a single reboot during the night. This means that some files must be broken after all those unwanted reboots. I will scan for virus/spyware but I mostly think it's a broken driver issue. The fun will be to find which one.
Before the Safe mode, I was still able to backup my files(email, bookmarks, source code, contest entries...). I added this last line as reminder for you to backup your files today. You never know when the gremlins will strike.
My first mission is to be fully back online so that I can check all contest entries and add them. The contest will still end today but I will do the draw when it's possible in a few days. But I hope it's tomorrow.
It's really a bad timing and wish it would had happen only after the draw. Anyway, someone will be happy and richer this week. 
Good Luck to all and thank you for your patience and entries!

Just a quick update:
My computer is worst(almost dead) than yesterday so it will take a few more days.
This will make a post on it’s own. For now, I have limited access to all my sites.Also, someone paid for a “Blog Buffet” and the transaction is not official yet. I will have to wait before giving the tickets and give some time.

Sorry again for the delay. It was an unsuspected pain in the …
