I Gotta Wee*

Yes, you read that correctly. I am now the proud owner of the repeat gift of the year.

I know what you are thinking, "what took you so long?"

Last year I bought a PS2, mainly because I couldn't find a WII and the PS2 was cheaper. Well, after hearing all year how cool they are I finally broke down and bought one and I even had it in time for Christmas. So how was I able to find one?

Honestly, I owe it all to my friend Chris who wrote a Perl script to monitor an RSS feed and had his machine beep and blink like crazy once it found one available.

1. Find a website that tracks Wii merchants and supplies an RSS feed wiitracker.com -- DONE

2. Write a simple script to monitor said RSS Feed. -- DONE

3. Go to reported Merchant and purchase product -- DONE

4. Wait -- DONE

5. Receive product and fight off the Giggle Loop during a customer conference call -- DONE
