    Advent Locker

    One for those of you in London: well-known geeks-about-town Dan Williams and Tom Scott will be giving away stuff during December. Each day, an item will be delivered to an Amazon locker somewhere in London, and the locker code will be revealed on their Advent Locker website. First person to get to the locker with the code gets the prize

    It's nothing to do with Amazon, it's an independent thing using Amazon's infrastructure. If you want to play, keep an eye on their site and follow on Twitter: Advent Locker: the Advent Calendar treasure hunt.

    Good idea, but I'd guess there's little point in taking part unless you're a Bradley Wiggins lookalike poised on a racing bike and checking for site updates every couple of minutes from 5am on a mobile.

    There's also a perl Advent Calendar again this year.

            First one was grabbed 24 mins after the code and location was revealed on twitter at 2pm. It was some lego bricks: https://twitter.com/Aosher/status/274881981844701184

                I don't want to put Perl in my mouth.

                I don't either! Also, no baking is going to be required, and we're certainly not going to make anything in a microwave.

                from the 2nd.

                these guys need to get out more.
