Win a Patch by Subcribing!


After I wrote my first Instructable, I saw that someone had subscribed to me. I thought "Wow, so cool, they liked what I wrote!" Then I saw it was my uncle. Oh well.

Over time more people bolstered my confidence to write more Instrubtables and more people subscribed, and every time someone does I feel great. So for this patch-give-away, I want you to go out and subscribe to 5 people who have written an 'ible you like, (who you have not subscribed to before this time). From my own experience it is especially rewarding if they are new with only an 'ible or two under their belt and have few subscribers - or even none. Nothing makes you feel more included on this wonderful site than to feel your efforts have fans.

So get back to me here (I will believe you) after you have subscribed to 5 (new to you) people and besides a cool patch, pictured below, you will be the first to receive news of new 'ibles from the folks you subscribed to! Subscribing to me does not count.

I have 50 patches to give away - get going!

I subscribed to 5, I don't really care about the patch. I usually don't think about subsribing so this is a good topic, since it actually made me do it. Even if I don't get a badge, thanks.

I have a habit of subscribing to those (especially new persons) I feel have a lot of potential....
Ninzerbean (author) says: May 31, 2012. 2:07 PM
Of course you get a patch. I think you will enjoy the subs because when they do something new you get an email, it keeps you informed.

You will have to wait a month, I am on the road without my notes which have the patch codes - sorry, but I won't forget. I could send you a generic one if that will do.
the King of Frankenstein says: Mar 26, 2012. 7:52 AM
I'm patient. I'm new, with no worries, no followers, and 1 ible. See you in a month. Thanks

I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you subscribed to five, no need to name who you subscribe to, you will be patched in just a moment. Thank you and keep it up!
sunshiine says: Jun 16, 2011. 3:18 PM
Thanks! I have been subscribing to quite a few actually. I thought that I sent the names but glad you gave me the benefit anyway. I tried to subscribe to those with few numbers to encourage them.
Goodhart says: Jun 16, 2011. 2:26 PM
I make it a point to subscribe to those that either have left off a bit on their submissions, or some of the newer ones that "give me the impression" that they may only need a little push to get going :-)
sunshiine says: Jun 16, 2011. 3:19 PM
Good point Goodhart!

you (ninzerbean) because you deserve it
username252 because of his ninja star
ewilhelm because he is the CEO an his instructables have pictures of a cute baby in them
lukethebook333 because of his invisible book shelf
Ninzerbean (author) says: May 12, 2011. 6:27 AM
Great, except you have to find another person to subscribe to besides myself, that doesn't count, sorry. Let me know when you do. I might suggest Thinkenstein, he does some amazing stuff. Or Smoocheroo for great food 'ibles, I may have her name spelled wrong but you'll find her.
ElvenChild says: May 12, 2011. 7:34 AM
Yeah I am already subscribed to scoochmaroo but I just subscribed to alanmon becaus of (his?) chopstick instructable.

Ninzerbean (author) says: Apr 21, 2011. 4:16 AM
Great!, but do me a favor in the light of how this patch was supposed to be given out and subscribe to 5 new people and don't include me - I feel sort of like it looks like I was trying to get subscribers when that was not the case. Thanks!
Goodhart says: Apr 21, 2011. 9:05 AM
Sure, sure, but we of the community of the Sacred Order of Conspiracy Theorists know the TRUTH LOL  ( Just kidding! )
Ninzerbean (author) says: Apr 22, 2011. 2:56 AM
If you take each of the third letters of the original post and convert each one into letters based on the Akdmvjn's archaic language in the order of switching consonants with vowels every 4th conversion, and then going clockwise around a campfire of heritage tomato vines in counterclockwise directions at the same time as you get the square root of women in America who own cats and add that to the prime numbers you obtained in the first step, you will see that each time you solve for "x" that the original post will read "subscribe to Goodhart for a good time".
Goodhart says: Apr 22, 2011. 8:52 AM
LOL very good.....Da Vinci code anyone? Or perhaps National Treasure ;-)
thelastonekills says: Apr 22, 2011. 12:48 AM

Yep, I have 24 patches left to give away.

Subscribed! Also, cool Japanese manhole cover. It looks like the ones I've seen in Nagoya.
Ninzerbean (author) says: Dec 2, 2010. 3:33 AM
You be patched, that one was in Kenashura, I can't spell it anymore, but do you know why man hole covers are round? I do.
Hoopajoo says: Dec 2, 2010. 4:54 AM
Why are Manhole covers round? I'd say for several reasons, the primary ones being:

a) Manholes are round
b) It can be laid onto the hole at any angle and will never fall in
and
c) No sharp corners to pop tires if the cover is not seated properly into it's niche

Close enough? ;)
Ninzerbean (author) says: Dec 2, 2010. 8:06 AM
That's it!

What about Reuleaux triangles and other polygons? Hey, I bet I've used something shaped as a Reuleaux heptagon only today ;)
Ninzerbean (author) says: Jan 16, 2011. 7:47 AM
Wow! That is so cool, did you use a pencil shaped like that today. Thanks for shoving me in that direction, I had no idea such a thing exhisted.

The Ideanator says: Dec 2, 2010. 8:28 AM
Subbed = subscribed :D
Ninzerbean (author) says: Dec 2, 2010. 8:39 AM
Thank you but it's not about subscribing to me - did you indeed subscribe to 5 people?
The Ideanator says: Dec 2, 2010. 9:44 AM
Yep. I'm up to 25 now.
Ninzerbean (author) says: Dec 2, 2010. 11:28 AM

Dr. Pepper says: Nov 25, 2010. 5:44 PM
I've subscribed to at least 20 people-before I had even seen this-it felt good when I published my first ible' and someone subcribed so I did the same, this is a nice thing to do; good for you!
Ninzerbean (author) says: Nov 26, 2010. 3:33 AM
Glad to hear it, you be patched!
Dr. Pepper says: Nov 26, 2010. 8:38 AM
thanks I love it!
1 How did you get 50 patches?
2 What is the picture of?
Ninzerbean (author) says: Nov 26, 2010. 9:18 AM
1. I could tell you but then I would have to take your patch away.
2. It's a sewer grate I saw in Japan, they have the cutest sewer grates there.
Dr. Pepper says: Nov 26, 2010. 3:17 PM
1. Okay?
2. When did you go to Japan? That is quite qute!
Nostalgic Guy says: Sep 20, 2010. 10:45 AM
I just spent a couple of hours clicking around random ibles & just following what looked interesting.
I learned a lot as I always do when I go for an ible trek & found a few iblers that seem to be into similar things to me so I would say I have at least five or six new subsrcriptions.
Ninzerbean (author) says: Sep 20, 2010. 11:39 AM
Great! You will probably end up with a few new subscribers to yourself as well, you are now patched. Thank you!
dombeef says: Sep 19, 2010. 9:29 AM

Ninzerbean (author) says: Sep 19, 2010. 10:12 AM
Great, you are patched and I look forward to your next 'ible!

Sure does, but go back and see if they stuck, none of mine did. Here's your patch and thank you!
depotdevoid says: Sep 1, 2010. 12:18 AM
Yeah they did, but I had to do it through an instructable they'd posted--the profile button was broken, but the ones within individual ibles works.
Ninzerbean (author) says: Sep 11, 2011. 9:29 AM
Thanks for letting me know
Kryptonite says: Sep 2, 2010. 5:15 AM
Aww, thanks Ninzer! I got 4 subscribes / 5, and I think I'll make you the last.

That's really hard because I subscribe to any one with an Instructable I really like as soon as I see it! D:
