Hi guys! Uh, welcome to the Uh Giveaway the Fluke and various other um, uh, multimeter and test equipment. uh giveaway draw I'm doing this live on you stream Now there's whole bunch of people. um on Ustream watching this live just to make sure there's no funny business and I'll do it all in one shot so there's no funny business. Anyway, we have two fluke.

uh what is it? Oh yeah. Cnx V3000 basic kit. you get both meters. there's two of those to give away and there's a gosen metr hit World meter.

It is slightly used, not brand new. hopefully I've got all the accessories um for it I don't know I have to dig around I've probably got the Um cow certificate for it as well. Yeah, I don't know. I'll try and find it anyway and we've got a Chrono view uh, logic analyzer as well to give away.

So um, let's do it, shall we? I'm what I'm going to do is I'm going to swing the camera around to look at the uh laptop in front of me and uh, hopefully um, we can record all of this uh stuff in one shot Live! So here we go and uh, by the way, uh yes, um one person. Yes there will be four separate winners. It's not like one person wins everything. There will be four separate winners and uh well, this is just my uh uh Ustream uh window at the moment with the chat window here on the other side.

Hi everyone chat window there is a uh yeah, there's just over I think there's 1100 entries. uh I did a test before woo Oakland Good day Sam Gab Um yeah .01% chance. All right. Anyway, it's better than nothing.

Um, here we go. So what I've got is let's go over to here. which is no, let's go over to here. No, let's go over to here.

Okay, here is the contest. um, thread. So here it is on the Forum where everyone's entered. Um, it's been locked for like uh, you know, quite a few days now.

nobody's been able to enter. So what I'm going to do is we got well. we got 74 Pages This is the most entries ever there. They are 74 Pages worth of entries in here.

So what I'm going to do is I'm going to print that and have to do this in Firefox doesn't work in Chrome cuz chrome doesn't let you save as text apparently. Uh, but save page as right? So basically what this does is every single um thread, every single Post in there. everyone's Post in there is and it's long. It's huge.

Okay, so everyone's post will be in there. trust me. Sorry about the video quality I am shooting this through my cam so so we get what we get and I can go save as so there's no funny business. Save page all the posts and we'll overwrite the file that I did for testing before giveaway October 13 and we'll save that.

It's saving it in C/e blog contest Do you want to replace it? Yes, I do. So there we go and it's saved. that and then we'll go over to the directory. There it is C/ Eev Blog Contest and there's my contest wul program, the Evev Blog Contest wobbulator.

So all I got to do is drag and drop that text file onto there and it will draw a winner previously. I've done like a random uh like you know, roll a dice or do whatever to pick a random number and then run it like that random number of times I Couldn't be bothered. There's four things to go through here: I Don't want the video to go forever. So first draw we will do the Chrono View you logic analyzer Tada Let's do this.

So I'll run it once and the first person's name who comes out will winner actually. Well, I'll show you how it works first so this is not the winner. Okay here it is. I drag that onto there and it runs it.

There's 1,116 names found and if I click. Okay, there's nine idiots who entered who posted something in the thread twice. They've been removed. So we have a th000 and it's removed my name.

so we have 1,98 people entered. Here we go and now it's doing some random stuff and this is not the winner. Not I repeat I'm just showing that it works Seno So there you go. It just prints out a random name like that So now here goes the real thing for the Logic Analyzer 2016 names and here we go.

The winner of the Chrono View Logic Analyzer is after I vet your account to make sure you've done quality posts is Ricky salad. Woohoo! Let me write that down good oldfashioned paper good on your Ricky salad. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to just draw them all now all four prizes and then go back and check that these people are valid and if they're not, if I I think they just spamming The Forum to get contest then we'll do a redraw. So let's now draw the Gosen Metro hit World multimeter and I better make sure it's uh all still going there in the window.

Yep, everything still looks good sorry I can't uh I should have done split screen I don't have a spare HDMI Congratulations Ricky Yay! Um, all right so so let's go back to where we were and now we're going to draw the Gossen multimeter. So here we go: drop that on first name. The winner of the Gosson multimeter is Bullet 308 and by the way, if your name comes out twice, you do not win. You can only win one item.

Um, so I'll make that I'll make that very clear cuz we want that's fair to everyone. So technically someone's name could come out again. Um, but I'm sorry if your name comes out twice, you can't win it item twice. so it goes to the first thing you won if that happens.

Now the fluke. Our first fluke. Here we go. The fluke multimeter.

Let's have a look. The winner of the first fluk multimeter is Tada B soft B soft Congratulations Belly Zoft. All right, Balis Zoft And the second fluke multier goes to let's have a look Mr Simpleton. Congratulations Mr Simpleton.

So let's go back. Well what I'm going to do now? Oh I think there's a space in Mr Simpleton? There is there I don't know that could muck it up when I try and search for people's usernames. All right. So congratulations those four tentatively because now I'm going to go into I Got to do some housekeeping here folks.

I'm going to go into uh Manage members and I'm going to search for them. This is where I'm going to have to not show you the screen unfortunately because it does contain people's uh, personal email addresses and uh uh, whatnot. So so I will check the first person out Ricky salad and hopefully Ricky salad doesn't have just five posts to get in. That would be annoying.

There'll be a lot of pissed off people. Let's have a search for Ricky Salad's account. There we go. Let me have a look at Ricky's posts.

Ricky has 18 posts. So fairly new, but certainly not the five. I'm in and I can come back now I think uh, because yeah, I don't think I'm giving Ricky anything of Ricky's away. Here's Ricky's post that anyone can find out I'm in an apartment too.

no room for a workbench. do you know where Texas in that would be sweet. I'm going to be the only person to have Direct Control of this thing might want to. sorry if I don't have your solar experience.

Oh, he's asking about all solar panels and opinions on solar systems. Um, actually he's been around for quite some time so it's not like uh, he just joined for the Forum so that's uh, that's good enough. That's good enough for me. Yep, congratulations Ricky you Inn the logic analyzer.

Happy with that? So let's check out the next person. Sorry. this takes a while. Maybe I should do this off camera, but uh, Bullet 308 I know bullet I recognize the username bought 308.

He's got 334 posts. so I don't even think we need to check. um, bullets, uh, account? really? So yeah, that's a bit insulting for with 334 posts. um, a bit insulting to.

uh, look at bullets account really. So congratulations Bullet you in the Gos and multimeter and you know if you got in the hundreds of posts really, you know I'm not going to bother checking cuz you would have been weeded out already if you were spamming. The Forum Bis Zoft Zoft for the first fluk multimeter. Let's have a look at Baz Zoft I'm sorry you got a boring shot of my keyboard, but uh, uh.

today 264 post? Oh yes, I know? yeah. Ballad Zoft Yes! 264 posts. Um, congratulations you are the winner of the fluke multimeter. Let's just go back.

All right, No drama whatsoever. So good to see a relatively long-term uh member of the Uh forum. Does it tell you? Date Registered: Oh 2012 February 2012 Bisoft joined us on the Forum So a worthy winner and uh Mr Simpleton I Don't know if any of these people are watching live. they could be going Burco in the other window search.

This is terribly boring Video people are going to complain it's been gone for 11 minutes. What do you want to watch this for? 63 posts for Mr Simpleton. So that's pretty good. Quite happy about that.

Both of these people are from overseas and uh, joined us July 31st 2013 So uh, before the Uh so no one has, uh, just joined for the contest. That's good. That'll keep a lot of people uh happy. So there you go.

That's Mr Simpleton's all. Hey, we're back. All of Mr Simpleton's posts there we go. So congratulations, Uh Mr Simpleton, Bazoft, Bullet 308 and Ricky salad.

they're all valid I Don't have to do any redrawings which is fantastic. That's excellent cuz a lot of people you know it would have been uh very, um uh embarrassing if uh, you know, well it would have annoyed a lot of people if uh, you know? some newbie just joined the Forum just to enter the contest. That's what we're afraid of. Probably do the contest different anyway.

coming back. Tada There we go. Um, all done. Too easy.

So there you go. Hopefully no one's going to complain that it was. You know, all the people flooding because there were tons of pages of comments on the Forum about oh, how the you know it's unfair the contest? Yeah, we'll probably run it different next time. Um, you know you might have to register in the Forum like 6 months before or something like that.

Uh, rather than just get the whole influx of people coming in for the contest. So anyway, um, yeah, we've got our four winners. I think that was all that I was supposed to draw? Anyway, so two mul meters, um, both from overseas can't remember where um, going to have to ship that that cost that cost a fair bit to ship these overseas. It's not going to be cheap.

It's probably going to be like 80 or 100 bucks to ship this. um, overseas. So um, not not cheap at all. Um, unfortunately.

uh, especially. you know you want tracking and uh, stuff like that's not Cier, that's just regular uh post. So I don't know. Through four, four, 4, Kil, 3 kilos or something it weighs I don't know.

But congratulations to the four winners. There you go. That's it. That's the whole Contest video.

boring. Catch you next time.
