see reply above - use mywoot.net

it caches from the woot server - and "predicts" how long you have to think about it.

happy wooting!

And it's OVAR!

I picked up some in-ears, a Gyration air-mouse, an inverter, and a couple kitchen-y gifts. Missed out on some other stuff, but it was cool enough. I'd like to kill all those bloody impulse-buying people who beat me out on that USB Plasma Globe, though. That was my impulse! ;)

Benson. Dude. You need some kind of consumerist help or something, man. :)

This is the way the Woot ends.

Not with a Roomba, but a bacon salt.

I bought my original N770 on a Woot last year. Great site.

and, Dan, c'mon, cut Benson some slack. We all just get caught up in the Wooting frenzy. :) 24 hours later, I'm STILL Jonesing over the Sony HTPC with the Blu-ray burner, DVR, and HD broadcast tuner. So, nice, but $800 (but down from original price of over $3000!.)

Yeah, I missed the bacon salt, too, actually. Not because I need it (bacon bits are good enough for me; I don't salt food all that much), but because... well, cause it was the end of the woot-off! It was my last chance to buy something.

Besides, it was BACON!

Glad someone understands, though. Did you get a USB Plasma Globe? (I've cooled down a bit; I won't kill anyone now. Not taking burglary off the table, though...)

Nope, by the time I admitted to myself that I WANTED the USB Plasma Globe (it's a little-known fact that Woot-offs cause a lot of personal introspection), they were gone. So it now joins other Woot-off items as another life-achievement regret. (I could devote multiple therapy sessions to missed Bags O' Crap...)

:)

heh.

I still haven't gotten a Woot! bucket, but I got a flying monkey a while back...

...and, I convinced myself that I wanted a USB Fishtank, but providence decided I did not want it.
