I Think I Won The 360|Flex API Contest: Ribbit Category

April 10, 2008 · 5 Comments

I talked to John & Tom over at 360 Conferences asking what the outcome of the API Contest was.... They told me I didn't win. Well damn, I had pimped the hell out of my entry. Oh well. I went on with my day, a bit disappointed and resolved to the staking out of Target to buy a Wii.... If they're ever in stock.

Well, fast forward to today when Ben Clinkinbeard IMs me and asks me if my name is Tony Fendall. I was puzzled, to say the least, so he gave me a link to the contest winners.

Looks like my app, but not my name. So I think I won the contest for the Ribbit category. Stay tuned to see what really happened.

P.S. I don't know who you are Tony, but I'm sure you're a nice guy and a damn fine developer too.

[UPDATE] It was a typo, and I did, indeed, win the Wii.

Thanks David! I hope to see you either at 360|Flex, MAX, or maybe even WOTP this year!

Congratulations on the win! My app was in the Degrafa category, so I'm glad we both won :)
