I spent my entire lunch period (I’m in school) trying out around 200 Captchas right after 11:00. I didn’t get anything. I’m not complaining about not getting free stuff (so don’t hate), but this is my 3rd year trying to get stuff for free day. It gets irritating after a while. I go for Free Day because my parents aren’t all gung-ho about my ventures into electronics and stuff, and after I (accidentally) killed 3 Arduinos and a Roomba (I think the Roomba was defective and fried the Arduinos), I’m on my own to get new parts. So getting free stuff would be nice. Sparkfun, maybe you should do a Free Day for new customers and then a seperate points system for people who buy things constantly? Like those credit card points? And then members can cash ‘em in during Customer Appreciation Week or something. Just an idea.

Yup. And the servers went down anyway. I’ve been trying for 3 years, using my lunch periods (I’m in high school). I’m not complaining about not getting free stuff (though I wanted it), this wasn’t the best idea they’ve ever had.

Meanwhile, in Boulder, Colorado…

This is from the Arduino Website– last year I fried a Duemilanove and I used this to fix the bootloader…
