Try Your Hand At A Home Server Haiku (ie. A contest ;-)

    Try Your Hand At A Home Server Haiku (ie. A contest ;-)


    Posted: 23 Nov 2009
    Feeling literary? Creative? Or maybe just passionate for the latest generation of Windows Home Server devices hitting the market? Either way, here’s your chance to win a Home Server and host of other great prizes including Zune HD players and 1 TB hard drives to help expand your storage.

    Through December 11th, Intel and Microsoft are co-sponsoring A Home Server Haiku contest. To enter, simply write a haiku about how a home server would help bring peace of mind to your life—or simply why you really want one. Your name will be entered in a contest to win one of three new home servers, one of ten Zune digital audio players, or one of ten 1TB hard drives.

    If you’re like me, a handy English class refresher on Haikus can be found here, courtesy of Wikipedia (simply put, it’s a poem made up of three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, with thankfully no rhyming needed).  :-)

    More details – and the entry form - are up on the website www.winahomeserver.com.

    So here’s my attempt:

    Each day it helps me

    From its perch in my basement

    My little server
    I’m sure you can do better…Give it a try, and spread the word!

    - Mark

    Chaos reigns within.
    Reflect, repent, and reboot.
    Order shall return.
