Did you drink both?

ThunderThighs wrote:Looks good. I would suggest that you might consider downsizing some of the elements on the right so the imporatant stuff can be seen without having to scroll the window though. I know you need the ad at the top. I can scroll the screen to get most of the important stuff in my window but it's close. I don't keep my browser window maximized. I might be the exception there, not sure. PS: I don't consider the write-up to be part of that important stuff. Nice (sorry writers) but not crucial.

Something like the Simple tracker: http://www.bagsofcrap.com/happyhour_simple.htm?

Good evening all
I had an extra long pre sleep nap tonight

ThunderThighs wrote:Yes, but I would add the quantity guess in the important info. In my window, as sized, the window is cut off just a bit below the the start of the green bar below "sold out." You could downsize the percentage and "sold out" and still still be quite effective.

Perhaps downsize the product title a bit? What if it's a really long title? You could add a thumbnail of the product in there which would be really useful. I like have a quick look to see what the item is. Perhaps split the percentage with a thumbnail?

I guess that I am just an abnormal user (My smallest screen that I use regularly is 1680x1200). But, after looking through my analytics info, 25% of my ad revenue is from 1024x786 or smaller (which is odd, because it accounts for less than 12.5% of the traffic)...

I'll do some more tweaking and see if I can't improve it a bit. I'll let you know (and hit you up for some opinions) how I progress...

Thanks!

My sister just called, our grandmother had a stroke. She's in the hospital, and apparently mostly coherent, mobile, etc, but her carotid artery is 95% blocked. They're trying to figure out what to do, afraid that if they break it up the pieces will just go upstream and block somewhere else.

She's in her 90's...been depressed for most of her life...Part of me says I need to get on a plane TONIGHT to see her one last time.

Mom says no.

disturbingly...the last three times my sister has come to visit me, we've lost an elderly relative--two great aunts and our other grandmother.

She'll be here to see me Memorial Day weekend.

Wish I could help. Often Mother knows best. But sometimes they're too practical.

The thing that makes it hard is that Grandmother IS coherent, so would recognize me, and seeing her would be more meaningful...but she'd also know that's the only reason I was there...

Thanks. just have to decide...And see if work will freak out if I'm gone. They're not exactly pleased with me taking a few random days off on short notice recently...

I promised mom I'd wait until tomorrow, and what the doctors decide.

We'll see. If I don't get to see her, that's my regret to bear...if she recovers fine, she won't resent me. (and yes, complex, but she would resent me if I showed up and she made it. She'd love me for it, but resent me for it too.)

Too many decisions.

Live dangerously, stay till one.

dontwantaname wrote:Did you ever catch up with all your work?

Oh, yeah, had nothing to do yesterday or today. Until about 10:15, when I got 150 pages in. Would have had it much earlier, but her new puppy chewed her computer cable and she couldn't send it to me.

Fat Broad can't whack the snake anymore? What's the world coming to?

I'm wondering if this is something like "the dog ate my homework."

dontwantaname wrote:Maybe we should start a movement to make woot put the bag of poop random again.

Maybe not.

I'm off.

I remember the snake getting smacked.

See ya all tomorrow!

I brought it up once and Snapster said it was too expensive. ???? Seems like it'd keep more people here till Woot time. Might buy more.

I'd be content with less crap during woot-offs (less often) if they were once again really random.

Think of me tomorrow, I'm not feeling well and have the phone interview tomorrow.

Good luck tomorrow. However it ought to go.

Night all. Tomorrow.

Good morning all.

Mav- I hope your grandmother comes through ok. When my dad had a heart attack and my sister wanted to know if she should come I told her no because things looked better than 50/50 he make it. When I talked to the nurse in ICU she told me if it was her she'd want to be there. I thought about it and relized if it was his time to go and I didn't see him I would regret it for the rest of my life. I told her to come and she did. My dad lived another 2-3 years but there was no regrets.

KtC- Good luck I hope it all goes as it should.

Mornin'.

awake!

Good morning everybody! More furniture moving around today! Too much stuff for too little space.

morning all.
