Somewhere Ernst Zermelo is smiling...

I know you have waited patiently and anxiously to find out who won this week's ThinkGeek prize. And I wanted to tell you, but things have been a little hectic with these hijinks going on in Seattle.

But I have my duties and I'm proud to reveal this week's winner. You know, I don't think there are many tags on My Opera for set theory. Heck, I haven't had a set theory on anything in years. My idiotic digressions aside, this baby is impressive, fascinating and elegantly coded.

So congratulations Holger Will. I didn't believe another clock widget would garner so much attention or in my case utter frustration, but this one has. Great job, Holger. The other clocks are Richard Dedekinds to your Georg Cantor.

So that's three winners in three weeks. I think this competition is heating up. I'll have another announcement about a cool ThinkGeek deal and then very soon we will reveal the grand prize.

Well, I don't know how you did it, but congratulations. :smile:

I honestly thought I had it wrapped up, but I guess I found out the hard way they are marking these things in some way I haven't figured out yet :|

Until next time!

What!! A clock over the solar system? Seriously?!! I don't know about internals of a widget and maybe the clock thing did something very elegantly and maybe the code was beautiful, but seriously What!! As someone who plays with widget this is what I know, (no offence to Ernst Zermelo) it takes half a minute to figure that set theory thing out and that is all there is to the berlin clock, on the other hand did you even try the PlanetWerks widget?!! If I wanted shiny clocks I'd use Konfabulator, they have some 2000 of those. :furious:

But in the spirit of the community (and since this is not IMDb) congratulations Holger Will. :cheers:
