Wait, a little background –

Two weeks ago, I announced that I would be giving away my Amazon.com shirts. The announcement can be [found here]. As of the deadline, August 31, 2006, 5PM PST, there were 33 people who dugg the post.

Methodology

So, to be fair, here’s the methodology I used:

I created a MySql table called SCHWAG that contains the 33 usernames. I then picked a random row number then ran the following query –

mysql> SELECT * FROM SCHWAG ORDER BY RAND();

The Winner

I picked row 4, then ran the query above, and the username that was in row 4 based on the rand() function is

Yuga
