i-think Twenty-Two

The results from the 6th Annual i-think Awards are now available. As with last year, I have the complete voting tally for open review.

2006 i-think Award Results

Just a reminder that the i-think awards dinner is tonight at 6pm at The Summit Restaurant at Mt Coot-tha. Let me know if you are coming!

That’s right, the i-think Awards site is now online. Sure, it’s the same codebase that we’ve had for the last 3 years, but it works, so there. Maybe one day I’ll actually have the time and energy to rewrite it from scratch, but not this year!

So the only question that we are left with is: How many awards will Paul win this year?

The results for the 2005 i-think Awards are in and a fun night was had by all last Sunday. Photos to be uploaded shortly. For a full list of all the vote totals, check out the Excel File. A full page of the winners will be up shortly, but at the moment I am focussing on the planning phase of the new i-think Awards website which whilst not as integrated with i-think Twenty-Two as I had originally planned, will serve to provide a great platform from which to run the awards. Once the new site goes live (I’m hoping within a month) I will be sending out the awards to those winners across the world and hope to receive some feedback to publish on the site.

The new awards site will also serve as a platform for the development of the official rules of the i-think Awards that will finally state the necessary procedures in particular with resolving grievances. If you have any suggestions for how the site can best be improved, let me know. A fair chunk of the backend will stay, but it will be rejigged as necessary to enforce the newly published rules better.

Deciding to simplify the job of certificate printing this year I used a mail merge. I only had to reprint the majority of the certificates after the grammatical failings became clear…

And guess how many I had to reprint?
