Smile Linux LG washing machine design by my wife

Hey guys and gals,

My lovely wife, who has been using ubuntu for over a year has decided that we need a new washing machine. She entered the contest of a Belgian magazine so we can win one.

Vote for Cheyenne's design and she might win her lovely linux washing machine! Click on the link below then on STEM (=VOTE), put in your mail address, you'll then get a mail and you have to click on the link to confirm your vote! You don't have to be afraid that you will get spam afterwards, because Belgian law prohibits this. You have to give explicit permission before they can send you commercial email (we have an opt-in policy as opposed to the USA's opt-out policy).


We just got married and can really use it, besides, how cool is it to have a linux washing machine...

Check it out, i'll bet you'll find it cute:

Thanks a bunch


Edit: The competition ends the 15th of November at 0:00 hours ECT (European Central Time, which equals GMT+1), so you can still vote until the 14th of November at midnight.

Which thing do I click? I don`t speak Flemish (or French, or Dutch).

I want you to win.

I`m putting this in my sig.

Re: Linux LG washing machine design by my wife

Hehe. Love your post.

If you follow this link: http://www.washinstyle.be/index.html?did=150

There's a box below my wife's design saying Stem voor deze creatie (=Vote for this creation). Below it is a button Stem (=vote), click it. Then you'll need to validate your vote by filling in your email address in the form that pops up, next click "Bevestig" (=confirm). They'll send you a confirmation mail with a link. Click the link and you're done.

We currently have 19 votes, but the top person already has 136 (you can see this by clicking on the design and below the name of the person it says "stemmen" and a number, that's the number of votes.) The linux community can easily beat that though!

Thanks for voting!

Re: Linux LG washing machine design by my wife

Ugh, flash.

19 against 136? That's going to be tough to beat in this forum. Especially when you need to "confirm" your email address when LG could just record your IP address -_-

Re: Linux LG washing machine design by my wife

Yeah, I know. But in Belgium everybody has a dynamic IP (unless you specifically pay way to much to have a fixed one) so that would be way to easy to cheat. You just write a cronjob to vote, refresh connection, vote, refresh... Thats why they ask an email confirmation.

It's not really anything to do with Linux at all, is it. It's a washing machine.
