Book draw winners, week 1:
Hey folks, entry to the Mind Performance Hacks free book draw from last Monday is now closed. The email address has now been deactivated, and all that's left to do is randomly select the 2 winners. Here we go (see how I did the selection after the jump)... And congratulations Adrian Neumann and Chris Elliott! I'll be in touch to get your postal addresses. Well done!
Everyone else, thanks for entering, and look out for the next draw tomorrow.

Here are the commands I used on my server to select the winning emails:
matt@truth$ for EMAIL in `find ~/Maildir/.06-03.freemph -print |grep historicalfact\.com`; do cat $EMAIL |formail -x"From " |sed -e "s/\([^ ]*\) .*/\1/"; done |uniq > mphemails
matt@truth$ random -fmphemails | head -n2
(and the two email addresses were printed here.)
