Took a few minutes to write a python program that looks for changes in the site and beep when it happens.

Is a 10 second delay enough to have them not think I'm trying to DDoS the site? :D

Hhm, they took the whole site down for the new product line? I'm guessing either it is a site remodel or just way more additions than we thought.

There is a ONE hour period of the year I am able to buy parts (for tax reasons, obviously) and now the site is down.

Thanks Obama.

Too bad it's not a live webcast so there can be "one more thing".

Code:

while true; do if wget http://www.vexpro.com/ -O /dev/null 2>&1 | grep offline-vexpro; then sleep 10; else echo "New website is up" | mail prosupport@vex.com -s 'vexpro website up'; break; fi; done

Another good reason to volunteer for the Vex World Championship: a chance to smack Grant and Karthik upside the head for making me wait!

Yeah, I'm not sure what they were going for with the timing of this. Maybe it was unavoidable?
