The woot! Widget, by B.N. and S.O., puts the daily woot! from www.woot.com on your desktop. It also tells you if the daily woot! is sold out and if a woot-off is currently happening.
Love this widget! I modified the code so it would show the percentage remaining during a Woot-Off. Scott, if you would like a copy for future revision, email me at dave@buscoblog.com. All others please wait for an official revision.

From "what is woot?" on woot.com:
"I see some orange flashing lights on the main page what do they mean?
No, you aren't seeing a side effect from your allergy medication. You have found a Woot-Off, a short term frenzied mutation of our product posting procedure. In Woot-Off mode, a new product is launched immediately after the sellout of the previous deal. There is a half-Woot-life of 12 hours maximum on any product within a Woot-Off that does not sell out. The number of …Woot-Off items, sequence, and quantity will not be announced. When Woot-Off mode is over, the orange lights will disappear and our normal schedule will resume. Depending on its success, this may be a mode we would go into once or twice a month for a relatively short duration of time (24-72 hours generally.)"
You will also see a orange flashing light on the widget a woot-off happens.More
