Sparkfun

Post by plasma2002 »

Hey guys, Sparkfun is doing it again.... FREEDAY!
It starts tomorow at 8am PST (Thursday, January 13th)


if you dont have any clue what a sparkfun is, its a site that sells electrical components and various other doo-dads for making pretty much any device you can think of.

Freeday, which they started last year, is basically them giving away $100 to whoever wants it, until they reach their $150k cap. Last year it took down their servers and crippled the tubes, but they say theyve learned a lot about their network and code and have tried to fix a lot, but it will probably still crap out.
