Unofficial GWJ Secret Santa 5.0: Remind me next year to use email, sorry JollyBill & Mateo

Part 1 sent!

Still stalking

Dear Santee,

I know this wasn't on your list, but I decided to get you something you needed rather than something for which you asked. When the crap comes down, you'll thank me.

Monoprice has a line of HDMI-switching products.

I totally posted that in the wrong thread.

Wrong thread.

Dammit.

*cancels order*

Gee guys, I lay low for a while sorting work and meatspace issues and actively avoiding this very thread, and even so I still get gifts. Thanks a bunch for Limbo Demonbox, you Satanical Cube-shape encased space you : )

Dear Secret Santee,
I have stalked you and asked Paleo what to gift you. I have some fun ideas. I hope you like them

Next year I will be in! This year just wasn't good for me.....
Good to see you guys have so much fun!

Sorry for the delay in getting the last names out, some real world issues & events are on the calendar this week.

My dear Santee! Your justice is coming.

You're treating this almost like you're doing it for free in your spare time. Son, I am disappoint.

Spoiler:

No I'm not. Deal with real sh*t, dude, don't sweat this.

all done, proceed to the
Gift Exposure
thread

To my Santee: good god man, you make stalking difficult! Also: If I've added you on Steam you are my santee. Or maybe not! Who knows? Only myself and MaxShrek, and he's not telling!

Horrible cat swea-I mean, cool gaming stuff is in the mail as of today.

Sorry for not being here as often as previous years. Next year you guys have to remind me about using email instead of the PMs. Mateo & JollyBill wanted to participate but for some reason their PMs were lost in transit, and I know some of you guys can't get on this site daily or near-daily for reminders. There were a few problems with that this year, so if we're lucky and make it to another year, Secret Santa 6.0 will have its own email address.

Maybe even a Google+ or Facebook page, or whatever new social media app comes down the pike in 2012.

Unless JollyBill and Mateo would like to be Un-secret Santas for each other this year?

I do want to thank you for the work you put in Max, it's a hell of a job and I know without your PM I flat out would have forgotten to send over my info until it was too late.

It's definitely a fun job!

MaxShrek, I believe I may have some ideas and free time to dedicate to them to make the process run smoother next year.

I would also like to thank you Max Shrek! I have been having a blast finding things to send to my Santee, and watching as the updates come in. Can't wait to see what I end up with, and I hope my Santee enjoys their gifts.

Boogle will just write a script and two days later we'll all have the perfect present in hand ready to mail.
Thanks much Max. I know yer prolly chock full of the joy of giving, but I do hope that someone has you to shop for.

I was thinking script to check a gmail and create a list of participants and then randomize the output with another script that sends all emails.
I got the first part written, but it does require people to answer in a specific format.

What if your email address is actually "Maq');DROP TABLE Recipients;[email protected]"

Um....shouldn't matter?
I use python. Apparently missing some joke here.

Its so few records I was just going to pickle a list.

Meh, next year works. Unless Mateo is all about it, I can whip up a present fast. As it is I'm already behind on family.

It's all good Max, thanks for all the work you put it.
