I wonder how many contestants would be disqualified if he checked everybody for 5 valuable posts. ;D

He doesn't have to, he checks after the draw, and if he deems the posts not worthy, then elects to disqualify said person. Really It doesn't change anyone's odds at all.

When is the winner announced?

Not sure, the last week, and this week continues to be very difficult to get time to do anything at all. I need to schedule the live drawing.

Dave consistently underestimates the appeal of David L. Jones signed memorabilia.

There are only a couple of signed items in existence. A Fluke 27 you saw in the Electronex video, and a couple of uCurrents somewhere.

Your today is my tomorrow! Still 10/31 here. And it's past noon of the following day in Sydney. My DeLorean is out of plutonium, so I'll have to watch the recorded draw during breakfast, hours before it actually takes place!  :o

Always wondered what is wrong with normal chat channels, likes something on IRC. And if anyone cares, i just opened a channel #eevblog on freenode.net .. Of course Dava can have it anytime ...

But stuff like that is available to basically everyone, without the need of fance web sites and script crap... unless you want to, in which case you go to http://webchat.freenode.net/. But pretty much any device allows for IRC chat. No need to tie it to some other content vendor that you can't even use without allowing a boatload of external scripts.

Greetings,

Chris

Would have been nice if you could have announced this a bit earlier.
Who won?

Dave set up a #eevblog on Afternet years ago, and even had a chat tab on the main web site for it with the server details and a web client -- alas few people were interested, so he eventually removed the references to it.  However, a handful of us still cling on in there.

Bear in mind that ustream's chat is also backed by and available through IRC - c.ustream.tv #eevblog, from memory!
