Back in August, I entered a contest on BoingBoing to win one of three computers HP is giving away. The contest lasted 1 week. Around 20 people entered. My odds of winning aren't bad. I'd guess 50/50 based on the number of entries, number of prizes, and the quality of the competition. But the people at BoingBoing running the thing haven't gotten around to declaring the winners. They even said recently that they would announce them last Monday, but never did.

So I could contact them to bug them, but then if I bug them, they will surely not pick me as a winner. So, as per the rules, I just keep going to the contest site to see if I won, because if you don't respond to your winning notification within 24 hours, they give the prize to someone else. I've been going to this stupid page every day for almost the last 2 months to see if I won. It's getting to the point that it's just not worth it.
