The first thing I check in my browser everyday is what’s for sale on woot.com. Its a site that features one deal per day and charges 5 bucks for shipping no matter what the product is.

This morning I decided to write a script to stick the deal in my conky. Having it sit on my desktop means one less thing to manually check in my browser

If you don’t know what conky is here’s my conky tutorial
I used the same method as I do in the rest of my scripts…set flags around our data, extract the info between the flags and shoot it out to conky.

To get it working add this line to your .conkyrc under the TEXT section

${execi 12000 python /path/to/script/woot.py}

Now you’ll know what’s on Woot as soon as you turn on your computer
