Oh, man. I wish I had 3 Arms!
-
Haha, looking at the numbers between my first board (woohoo!) and my second board order ~300,000 difference. Did Sparkfun ban a few scripts on the day? :)
-
Haha, I managed to get a few too many boards, probably. But no Micro OLED’s for me (here’s hoping you had better luck!). :)
-
Yikes, afternoon sale went [almost] too smoothly.
-
I like this. Basically levels the playing field for local pickup vs not. :)
-
I stand corrected! DenverRich is NOT A TROLL (anymore), and the Almost Free Day lives on!
-
Ha, me, too. Or a Big Easy Driver. Or an Open Log. Or maybe a Redboard. Perhaps a weather station! Of course, being local pickup placed before 11AM I expect it TODAY! (joking!)

Did you end up getting some free day goodies?

“Processing…dotdotdot” in Orders page = nogo? Edit: seems it went through!! Many thanks Sparkfun for another great DNS bot experience and awesome products at a [almost] reasonable price!! :)

Every time I use my Hakko soldering iron, I remember the reCAPTCHA’s. Every time I have to try to figure out a quick V=IR problem or simple binary-hexadecimal conversion I remember the quiz questions. Every time I reload a webpage I remember the patience that is learned while waiting for the Sparkfun servers.
Free Day is awesome. Thank you for (almost) bringing it back!!!
No public wish lists :(
