Ovaltina, my goat, you guys are HILARIOUS! I mean, we knew that anyway, but as far as cool goes, you guys win the "cool business" award.

Keep it up!

And I only have two meetings tomorrow and my boss is out of town, ensuring that I will be glued to my machine. Rock on!

Could it be a Blogging Old CEO happening right at midnight? Is that why they are sending out "memos" warning of Woot off?

Tormouse wrote:You can use the laser to calibrate itself horizontally. Put the laser on a more or less level surface on one side of a room. It does not have to be absolutely level because you will use the laser bubble levels to adjust the projected beam. Point the laser toward the wall which is right behind it, level it using the bubble level, and mark a short line right through the dot. Now, turn it 180 degrees toward the other side of the room, re-level if necessary, and go over and make another line through the center of the dot on the far wall. Now, Take the laser to the other side of the room and put it on a table or stand just in front of the mark on that wall. Turn the laser on, point it in the general direction of the same mark (the one that is right next to the laser now that you have moved it) and use some shims under the laser to adjust the elevation so that it is now pointing directly at the line and so that the line passes through the center of the dot after you have adjusted the bubble level. Now, turn the laser around, point it back toward the first mark, level it once more according to the bubble level and observe the result. If the first mark intersects the center of the dot, then the laser is level. If it does not intersect, then you will have to adjust whatever calibration adjustment you have on the thing until this test does work. If this seems a bit wierd, make a sketch of it, and you will see what is happening. E.g. if the laser is pointing a bit low, the final beam will end u p somewhat below the first mark.



That seems like a lot of effort for a $6 item. I'm sure they'll show up in the woot-off tomorrow.

Joe the Plumber uses these to make sure the soil pipe has the correct slope so the carp goes down.

OK - somebody owes me a new computer monitor....

Never.... EVER.... be sipping on hot coffee while reading an Internal Memo from Woot... as happened with me just now, you'll lose at least a mouthfull spraying the screen while snorting in uncontrolable laughter - no defense is possible!

That Internal Memo is hilarious!!

All I can say is - THANKS! I needed that!
(um...only half kidding about owing me a replacement monitor...)

Not unless they were in dire need of 10pm PST server-load testing. Or, you know, utter bastards.

I almost didn't get the "Internal Memo" because my junkmail filter grabbed it. Thank goodness I checked my junk e-mail today! Bring on the flashing Woot lights!

P.S. Is anyone else afraid they're pulling our leg.

How many hours must a man stay up late
to get in on one bag of cr@p?
How many times must a man click "refresh"
and eat his dinner on his lap?
Yes, an' how many times must a man explain
to his wife why he's up half past two?
The answer my friend is blowin in the wind,
and tonight I'll be blowin loot on Woot...

This sentence is like one of those zen riddles that bring about enlightenment or one of those things Captain Kirk used to say to blow up computers.

It's why the Buy One is bouncing, they're gonna cut the auction and want some of this carp for the Burnt Orange Caramels.
