I just won the BigPipe referral grand prize, and honestly can't believe it. Thanks Geekzone for your support + for clicking my referral link :)



I've also been "show banned" from the next referral competition since I've won them both to give others a chance. I'll just focus on paying my internet bill with referrals going forward.

What was the prize?





I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

Out of interest, what was the number of referrals that won?

I had around 8 referrals in this timeframe IIRC so not many.

Nice one, congrats.  I used your link to sign up a friend (I'm not with bigpipe myself yet as I'm in a contract) so which 1/8th is mine?  :p

Be generous.  You don't need the whole 1/8th.  Just take the remote.  ;)

Nice work, congrats! We've got a similar Panasonic TV. I actually *really* like FirefoxOS for TVs. Web browser works really well with an all-in-one keyboard+mouse.

Hmm. Does "Chromecast" mean Chromecast 1 or Chromecast 2?

Chromecast 2 :)

 

Before (Sony 32" TV, Samsung Soundbar) - I removed some of the cable management before taking this pic however:

 

 

After (Panasonic 55" DS610 LED TV, Panasonic Soundbar):

 

 

New TV is massive compared to my old TV.
