Are we keeping track of places where the NANY 2009 challenge is mentioned?

I am not keeping track but think it would be good if someone did

Nice bunch of lamers in the Gizmo comments section that post Anonymous comments saying that the NANY apps are junk.  How about they write something in their spare time and then give it away for free?

I am quite proud of the mention on ghacks , and I am also amazed at the apps that were produced for NANY 2009.  Good job everyone!

I feel like i should make a post mentioning why i think it's relevant and fun to have a thread about any "press" or mentions of the NANY 2009 programs, because if i was a new person to the site i might feel like it was a bit annoying or self-promoting to see a post like this.

Unlike a big company with advertising and marketing money -- the only way people find out about DC and the stuff that goes on here is when other sites notice or when friends tell friends about us.

As a programmer participant in the NANY event, part of the fun is the enjoyment that one receives from other people trying and liking your software.

I always feel nervous when we do something like this that it will be like a tree falling in the woods and no one noticing.. and while programming is it's own reward -- i think it's so nice when everyone involved can also get the enjoyment that comes when new people and new personalities discover the programs and enjoy them.  (it's also very nice and fun for the site in general to have new people discovering the site, especially when there introduction to the site is something as purely a celebration of software as an event like this is).

So anyway, that's why i think it's so cool when i see a program that was part of the NANY event written up, i think to myself how cool it is that someone took notice of the work that this coder put into their program, and how much more rewarding it may be to the coder to see their good work acknowledged.

You got it in one Mouser.  I've been programming ever since I laid my hands on a keyboard (go GW-BASIC) and at work I must have 1,000 or more scripts that I've written to help with random tasks. 

But I've never released anything, and to have *my* program download over 3,000 times in one day is just mind-boggling.  Not to mention, every single hit came via donationcoder.com.

I have definitely found NANY rewarding, and it has inspired me to start coding again, which is something I've always loved to do.

Thanks again to Mouser, DC, Perry, all the NANY participants and anyone who took the time to look at our programs.
