i found a big bug!


0.1 Eastern Hercules beetle (Dynastes tityus)

hey, is the store working? i'm trying to buy some 422 and some hat pads and when i hit "add to cart", it brings up a page that says my cart is empty and if i'm using safari, to allow cookies.

but i'm using firefox.

to be sure, since i'm on a mac, i got on safari and set it to accept cookies and i'm stil getting the same problem. i even had my girlfriend try on her laptop, which is using windows xp.

this same thing is also happening over on www.yoyogstring.com, which is using the same setup. i tried this morning and just now, so this seems to have been going on all day. and i've bought several times from both sites and never had a problem.

hmm...

Yes there is an issue and Jeremy is working on it right now. Same issue would affect Gstring.

ah, word. cool! i figured people were aware, but i just got some money that's burning a hole in my pocket!

woot.

Yes, it was the programmers fault. While fixing another bug, I accidentally set the Ajax network connection timeouts to 100 milliseconds

The server is fast, but it ain't that fast Anyway, it's now fixed. Thanks for your patience!

hat pads, flow groove pads, 422, and a 5-pack of 10-ball bearings scooped in my ice cream truck.

i was beginning to think i should just go to bed yesterday: the webcart's down, the stop and shop's out of shrimp salad, and a trip to blockbuster yielded TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE and WEIRD SCIENCE, which were the best titles out of their paltry selection. heck, i was about to rent KISS OF THE DRAGON. i was desperate.

but today, the webcart's working, i have an everything bagel with lox and cream cheese, and MONSTER IN A BOX has come from netflix. life is good.

thanks, jeremy!

The wife and I live on netflix instant play, it has replaced movie rentals (even most netflix rentals) and television. Oh, and that reminds me, I need to make more bagels...

See, when I added the dummy code (which is an Ajax callback for requests that don't actually require callbacks) I didn't think it would actually *terminate* the connection, just not process the callback. Boy was my assumption incorrect--and you know what they say about assumptions: they make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'mption'. Wait... did I get that saying right...?

Wait, you got to put a bagel, lox, and cream cheese into your webcart after Jeremy fixed it? Hey! How come I didn't see those things there?

dude, i wish i could order a lox & cream cheese everything bagel on the internet. to save me the trouble of walking next door and getting 'tude from the rich teenagers who resent having to get a summer job.

not to mention enduring HANGOVER-themed jokes, since i look like zach galifianakis and it's taken everyone this long to figure it out.

please start selling bagels. refrigerated boxes. i don't mind planning ahead.

bwahahaha! bagels on there way

There's been a catastrophic failure over in the online store that needs immediate attention....Every single One Drop yoyo has the words "Out of stock" next to it. Please correct ASAP!

Eel, I better address that.

Our shopping cart is going to be down for a few days. Should be back by Sunday.

So me and da boyz took a little tour of the 'hood to see if we could help find the missing shopping cart, and find it we did...



Unfortunately, it wasn't in the best of shape, so we hauled it back to Area 51 to fix it up and make a few adjustments. We're working double shifts here to complete it and get it back to you by Sunday. I think you'll find it better than it was...

Oh man! don't get me started on pulse-jets! I've got plans see...

Ok, the fact that you use "pulse-jets" and "plans" in the same train of thought worries me to no end.

It's not too hard to picture where this is going....

Shawn's new ride?



Say, isn't that David over there playing with his skateboard?
