all submissions so I can vote?

Thanks,

I assume Walter will set up some sort of voting thread?

The D wiki page quoted contains all the valid submissions (I did a  
newsgroup search in my news client for [Submission], and those 5 came up).

I saw Nick posted under [Article Submission], but fortunately his 
article is on the wiki too.

Does anything on http://www.gamedev.net/blog/1140-d-bits/ qualify? I see 
the author is Mike Parker, a D long-timer.

He has a separate post with just [Submission].  I think there are no  
"hanging chads" in this contest ;)

AFAIK, everyone who formally submitted (including myself) has recently 
re-submitted (all yesterday) in the correct forum with the correct tagline.

Although, if there are any others besides those 5 (the same 5 on the wiki 
page), then I don't know about them.

What about Jeremy Wright's article "Parallelism in D"?  It was announced 
in D.announce without the [Submission] tag (see the "Short article on 
std.parallism" thread), but it was posted in time for the contest.

Aside from the broken search box (which seems to be very common these days), 
it looks fantastic on my super-old browser:

Ok so it's not the author to blame (I'm sorry for that!)

Something must be broken with my firefox. Look how my fonts look different:

I wonder what's going on. Hmm...

To me, yours looks the same as mine, just slightly bolder. It must be a 
sub-pixel rendering matter. I'm on a CRT, so everything looks fine to me 
without any subpixel adjustment, and sometimes sub-pixel adjustment will 
just make things blurry. You must be getting the wrong sub-pixel rendering 
for your monitor, although I don't know why it would only be happening on 
that one site.

Of course, I'm just guessing on all of this.
