2/15/2008 10:47:58 AM

i dunno what you kids a bitching about, i've been able to buy things no problem.

like the inverter, slingbox, 4gb sansa mp3 thing.



[Edited on February 15, 2008 at 10:55 AM. Reason : the mp3 is a sweet deal. too bad a lot of them were defective.]

2/15/2008 10:52:00 AM

well, the site's back up NOW, but my woot tracker has quit responding after the seagate

2/15/2008 10:59:46 AM

^^ yeah youre right. we made it all up

2/15/2008 11:12:39 AM

bird flu kit...I'll take 300

2/15/2008 10:27:40 PM

i haven't woot-ed since they blocked woot at work.

2/15/2008 10:29:12 PM

may come with tamiflu or a comparable counterfeit substitute.

2/15/2008 10:30:11 PM

hurrah.

3/27/2008 12:35:58 AM

not a great day for me to be checking

3/27/2008 7:49:13 AM

who's buyin the cyborg ipod shiite?

3/27/2008 8:02:35 AM

3/27/2008 8:25:33 AM

hopefully this w00t off doesn't suck as much as the last one
you'd think they'd have the server issues figured out by this point

""If Woot really wanted to handle BOC's effortlessly" is the key point this discussion. The mystique of a BOC is challenge of wading through a sea of server errors to gain a prize that may be totally worthless. If you could order a BOC as easily as any normal woot the focus would shift from the chase for the prize to the value of the prize itself. The stated value of a BOC is crap. Why order crap for the sake of getting crap. It's all about the chase!"

I don't suppose anyone else is having memory leak issues with firefox and the woot page?

I've had to restart firefox 3 times this morning because firefox is leaking memory like a sieve. And the only page I have open that's not "normal" is woot.

3/27/2008 11:46:43 AM

fine here

3/27/2008 2:18:01 PM

grrr.

3/27/2008 2:21:06 PM

the same thing here chip - not related to woot i don't think though

3/27/2008 2:47:16 PM

no, I've narrowed it down to "not woot"

also not a lot of other stuff. I've got the problem narrowed down to either gmail or TWW actually.

[Edited on March 27, 2008 at 3:03 PM. Reason : or a plug-in perhaps. ]

3/27/2008 3:03:30 PM

i wonder if they just had the BOC

i'm getting Server Is Busy...

3/27/2008 3:06:19 PM

I was approaching 700MB on firefox too, could be TWW. restarted and have been ok so far.

[Edited on March 27, 2008 at 3:06 PM. Reason : Server is too busy]

3/27/2008 3:06:30 PM

wootwatcher plugin?

3/27/2008 3:12:37 PM

^testing that theory now

3/27/2008 3:13:34 PM

I've been running firefox with no windows open for the last hour and I'm not seeing memory usage increase.

I had that thought too, but I don't think it's the wootwatcher plugin. Although this is the first woot-off since I upgraded it, so it was in my mind as a possibility.

3/27/2008 3:14:51 PM

my first woot off with the new plugin as well...

3/27/2008 3:16:39 PM

woot watcher may be the problem, went from 35-50% cpu usage to 10-15%, half as much memory footprint when restarted...

3/27/2008 3:19:40 PM

how hard can it really be to not have a memory leak in a plugin as simple as a woot watcher

3/27/2008 3:20:49 PM

either i didnt notice or it changed since the last woot-off, i went two woot-offs with no problems

3/27/2008 3:22:07 PM

What's this plugin do?

3/27/2008 3:23:22 PM

it was recently updated/upgraded - i remember firefox prompting me to install the new version not too long ago

the woot watcher - watches woot

3/27/2008 3:24:32 PM

man talk about a woot off killer. who in the hell wants a headset phone

3/27/2008 3:26:36 PM

oh sweet a headset phone

3/27/2008 3:37:41 PM

Smooth As Lando Calrissian

3/27/2008 3:38:22 PM

sweet a power inverter

3/27/2008 3:39:17 PM

heh. they changed the price from $99 to $89 but didn't change the picture.

I emailed the guy that made the wootwatcher plugin about the possible memory leak. Here's his reply:

"Its actually a problem with multiple copies of the job running when it runs often. I fixed it, 1.0.2 is in the sandbox waiting for approval, you can also just up the interval for wootoffs. James "

wow, it's still going on...two days

3/28/2008 9:14:53 AM

NUTS?

3/28/2008 9:18:16 AM

i bought a helicopter

3/28/2008 9:59:21 AM

anything worthwhile for this woot off? the last one i saw sucked major ass

3/28/2008 10:16:16 AM

i tried using woot watcher for about an hour...and it basically made my firefox stop working. ff was "only" using around 100MB of memory at the time, but was locking up/being real slow. too bad, woot watcher looks like exactly what ive been looking for
