Over the years I have gotten my fair share of the Bag of Craps from Woot.com.  Here is a little guide I wrote to some friends to help them get the Bag of Crap, maybe it can help you too!

During the Woot Off is the best time to get it. Because you don't have to be watching the stie at 1:00 A.M. exactly when the item is listed.Generally speaking the Bag of Crap or Random Crap appears the second day of the Woot Off usually in the afternoon at some point.

Make sure you are logged into Woot.comIf you use Firefox, I highly suggest using the ReloadEvery plugin and set it to 5 seconds when an item is nearly sold out.

Once an item sells out you can wait for the five second reload or press reload yourself.

When the bag of crap comes up click on the button immediately and make sure you have your Three Digit Credit Card code ready to enter. The site will crash and slow down, but being patient and hitting reload will get it.

I find I have more luck actually ordering the Bag of Crap using Internet Explorer then with Firefox.

Taking a bit of R&R today to have some friends over for games a movies. I have a bit of cold today, but  I am hopeful that it won't affect me too much.  Trying to get things like this done before the baby comes.

Seems like the blog has reverted into just baby updates.  Pretty lame really, I know, but things are busy.  The baby is due in about a month and Annie and I still have so much to do.  I feel adequatelyl prepared for the bambino's arrival, we have a crib, and that sort of thing.

However, I have a lot of projects and work that I am doing that I would love to get done before he gets here.  Not sure it is all going to get done or not.  I have been keeping my head down and just plowing through all of it in hopes that I can make it.

We took a tour of the hospital last night where we are going to have it.  Seems very nice, and modern.  Some of the accent lighting reminds me strangely of Star Trek.

They have Internet access so you can expect real time updates.  YEAH!
