Get a Premium FruitfulTime License from the First Ever J Spot Contest

Thursday
Feb 28, 2008

I know some blogs are fond of giving away stuff thru contests. I think I ought to try it out. I’ve been meaning to run some contests on Splashpress Media, but I’d like to see first how it goes here on the J Spot. So with a little help from the creators of productivity software FruitfulTime, here goes.

Update: On the urgings of Janette Toral, I’ve converted the contest into a survey-type one.

Fruitful TimeJust answer the question What machine do you usually use to blog: notebook computer or desktop computer?. Post your answer as a comment here. From the responses, I will to select three in random, via a randomizing software. In the event that the comment chosen isn’t a response to the question, then I’ll move on to the next number.

I’ll keep the contest open until I get 150 comments, so hopefully that would last until this weekend. Update: let’s make this contest quicker. We will end when we reach comment or trackback #50.

The prize is worth $49.99 (but they’re selling it at $29.99 up to end February). You can actually try out a free version, which is fully-featured, but limited to only 10 days.

A to do list can be written on a piece of paper but it’s way too inefficient to do that. FruitfulTime TaskManager can help you do the job. FruitfulTime TaskManager is a to do list software that helps you handle your to do list. With it you can input your tasks and split them into subtasks. You can then set due dates on the tasks and subtasks and have FruitfulTime TaskManager remind you about pending tasks. In this way, FruitfulTime TaskManager will become your life coach to help you eliminate procrastination.

Again, just send in your answer. I’ve recently switched to a desktop machine for my main non-mobile computing needs (a Mac Mini). But I still do bring my Asus Eee mostly anywhere I go.

at work I use my desktop, running on Edubuntu OS, and at home and whenever I travel I use my Asus EEE pc. Both my desktop and my EEE pc is installed with a Firefox plugin Scribefire and Performancing which makes posting an entry to my blog easier, especially if I want to add technorati tags and also put it in my del.ico.us online bookmark. I am not a geek.. but I am married to one.. so it was an advantage to have learned some geeky stuff that makes blogging life easier.

I’m closing the contest once we reach comment #30. So two more entries and I’ll raffle off the license! I’ll even throw in a free “Stop Procrastination Now” eBook.

Oh well, I guess I should finish this now, without waiting for comment #50. I used randomizer.org, and here are the results:

Research Randomizer Results

1 Set of 3 Unique Numbers Per Set
Range: From 1 to 32 — Unsorted

Job Status:

Set #1:
30, 5, 6

Congratulations to commenter at #30. I’ll try to get in touch with you. If no response, then #5, and then #6.
