Updated the Cell Phones Toolkit with the Hex Editing and vx8600 hack info, but I don’t think I’ll post much more on it since it’s been discontinued by Verizon.  U

Update on having the site pay for itself… BIG STEP!  Earnings have doubled!  (to a grand total of $0.02) 

I called it on the Woot-Off, no Bag of Crap, and the Woot-Off ended with the Shirt.Woot.Com launch and a special Launch T-Shirt.  Only they forgot to set the default page for the shirt.woot.com folder and NONE of the links worked.  By the time I figured out to add the /default.aspx to the link the 500 shirts were sold out.  Not the best start, but new shirts on weekdays and it looks like they’ll be accepting designs from the masses so it should be interesting.

 Also, look out next week as the Knetwork expands with the launch of a second site… probably.  I’m just hosting and admin on this one so we’ll see if our writer is able to begin this week.  Have a great weekend!

Don’t know what Woot! is?  It’s a one product per day online retailer that’s heavy on the tech products.  Occasionally there’s a cascade of products on sale back to back that’s known as a woot-off.  Read more @ If You Don’t Know Woot By Now. 

The scent of a woot-off is wafting in the breeze today and I thought I would share a little bit of my Woot-Off Strategery! 

1. Have Woot open all day on every computer you own and use FireFox instead of IE.
2. Log In and have your credit-card info stored and ready to go, you may need to pull the trigger quickly and every second counts!
3. Have your credit card security code memorized.. you can’t store this and fumbling for your wallet could easily cost you a Bag of Crap!
4. Add Woot to your firefox bookmark toolbar and go into the properties and select the microsummary from the name drop down (under Live Title).  Pick the one with the price first or the % left if you are mid-woot-off. 
5. Right-click and refresh the bookmark for % left until the last 5% or so and then F5 refresh the page on the page until the next item pops.
6. Tell your friends about the wootoff and tell them what you’re after… cheap MP3 player, wireless router, Scooba, or whatever and have them help you keep an eye out and you do the same for them!

I would expect no Bag of Crap during this woot-off but probably a new T-Shirt as another test run for the upcoming shirt.woot.com. Happy Wooting Everybody!

The Knetwork earned it’s first penny… not profit and not anything that I can get my hands on yet, but it’s there.  Thanks to everyone that visits, I hope you get what you’re looking for.  If you don’t, then let me know!  I’ve updated the Remote Access Toolkit.  That’s a good base set of tools for getting at a computer when you’re not physically near it,  the nice part is that you don’t have to pay for any them.  As you open more ports please be more aware that you need strong passwords and a good firewall to protect your data.

To continue my efforts to have this site pay for itself I have decided to open up an amazon store. For now there are just a ton of microSD cards, but I’ll play with it some more and see if I can make the items a little more diverse. I hope to make it a selection of items that mesh well with the site content. Check out the KnightKnetwork Store!

Played around with a lot of stuff on the site.  I’ve added an internal links section to the sidebar for easier access to the Toolkits page.  Also added a link to the About page which was impossible to navagate to before.
