IT/CAD manager wins $2,000 in Cadalyst's "Where's Harry?" contest

CADalyst, Jan, 2005

Derek Whitfield knows that it pays to keep up with Hot Tip Harry. He was selected the winner of the $2,000 prize in Cadalyst's "Where's Harry?" contest, which ended December 10, 2004.

Whitfield is IT manager at Martin & Martin Civil Engineers and Surveyors in Las Vegas, Nevada. He manages day-to-day operations of the network and LAN environment and offers his CAD expertise around the office as needed--even if it means drafting. "Yes, I can still do drafting," he says.

Hot Tip Harry, Cadalyst's column of AutoCAD tips from our readers, is moving to Cadalyst.com. As part of the "Where's Harry?" contest, Cadalyst readers were asked to determine Harry's fictitious location. During a short tour of new features at Cadalyst.com and its four new portal sites, visitors could pick up clues to help determine Harry's whereabouts, then enter a drawing for the $2,000 prize.

Like Whitfield himself, Harry turned up in Las Vegas--"Standing in the Buffet Line at Caesars Palace."

You can still earn cash from Harry by sending in your best CAD tips. More details and the winners of the 2004 Top Tip contest appear on p. 66.
