First, thank you all for voting for Halo for Best of Breed in our local newpaper (Austin American Statesman) online dog show.  So, now it is time to vote again, this time for Best in Show.

www.statesman.com/life/content/life/interactive/hotnot_best_of_dogshow/index.html

Halo is dog number 13.  This time it won't be so hard because there are only 26 dogs in for Best in Show.  The voting lasts from now until and Feb 9.  You can vote as many times as you want. Just select the link above and forward to Halo and vote.  To vote again just got to this link again and if you don't see voting buttons, just refresh your screen.

Thanks for all your votes.

Be sure and vote no on #26 too (the mixed breed).  Right now the mixed breed is getting all the votes.

Does voting no for the mixed breed knock out a yes vote?

Not sure about the no vote, but it seems to make a difference.  The dogs in contention with Halo right now are the shelty (#24 with 81.6%), the mixed breed (#26 with 83.8%) and the lab (#1 with 74.7%).  Halo is currently at 87.4% and she is ahead. Yippee!!!

I work from home and have a couple of idle computers, so I setup a macro that will vote for me while I work.  I guess it pays to be in the high tech industry and no how to do that type of thing.  It also saves my hand from carpal tunnel.

Bev,
that's cool that you can set up a macro. is that just on your standard keyboard or are you doing it in a program. I'm a video editor so I use macros on my editor computer but have never used them on my pc

Just on a standard pc.  The macro just records keys strokes and mouse clicks.

So,  something funny is happening between 8 and 10PM Central time in the voting.  At that time the mixed breed numbers went up 10% and Halo's drop by 10%.  That is a 20% change in 2 hours.  Considering it takes about a half hour to increase Halo's number by .1% by clicking and voting, I suspect someone has access directly to the server and is directly injecting votes and bypassing the interface.  Now this is just specualation, but the mathematician in me is stumped by how else they could pull off the 20% swing in less than 2 hours.  That is why you all saw a huge drop from yesterday afternoon to this morning.  It literally happen in a short window of time, but after 10PM the activity went back to a normal cadence.  Hmmmm!!

Last night I voted my last times for Halo and could not believe the big drop to 83.4 %. That was 11:30 central time or 2330 military time. Keep voting and Yes I am off work today too as back to work tomorrow.
