The response to the rubber ducky giveaway has been great. I've gotten well over 50 entries, and a lot of people have entered just to answer the survey. Thank you everyone!
Today is your last chance. I'm closing the survey tonight at 5pm Eastern, so enter while the entering is good!

When the train comes, everybody rides!
The other day, I mentioned rubber duck debugging, a term with which I had been previously unfamiliar. Since then, I have wanted to pick up a rubber duck to keep on my desk at work, to help me to work through the more difficult issues I encounter (and because it's just funny to have a rubber duck on your desk).
I finally found one the other day. The only problem was that..well, there wasn't "a" rubber duck...apparently they come in flocks or something...
So yes, I bought the whole kit and caboodle. Walking out of the store, I said to my wife that now I had to find a bunch of people who wanted rubber ducks, since there were 16 in the package, and my issues are 1-duck, maybe 2-duck problems at worst. She thought for a second, and suggested "Maybe your blog readers would like the extras?". Brilliant!
So here's the deal. I bought a pack of 16 ducks:
The four large ones have been spoken for, so that leaves 12 little ducks. Since I'm guessing more than 12 people will want a duck, I'm going to have to give them out randomly. To help with this, I've created a 4 question survey. 2 real questions, along with your name and email address, so I can contact you if you win a duck. Please know that I will absolutely not give, sell, or relinquish-under-torture your email address. I'll just use it to contact you if my random number generator tells me you that you get a duck.
I'm leaving the survey open all week, since I know not everyone has time to read every day, and I've been way too busy to post normally anyway.
By the way, you don't pay shipping or anything. It's a real, honest to God giveaway. Enter the survey, win a duck, and I'll throw it in a (probably USPS, if you're in the states) envelope and ship it to you.
Note: I make no claims about the troubleshooting prowess of these ducks.
