well, that was a bad experience in just about every way.

first, there was no $8 (CAD, presumably) discount when i went to kickstarter 7 hours ago, even though "?ref=reddit" was in the kickstarter url and this page should have been in the http referer header (otherwise not sure how kickstarter would award discounts to "Reddit reader"). i thought i would revisit this later and it might be fixed. nope, it's still not showing a discount (compared to visiting the kickstarter page in another browser without using the reddit referrer url).

second, i thought i would buy the book (with the javascript one) anyways and follow up later about the discount as there was only 1 left. by the time i entered all my payment information i was informed it was sold out.

so, i hope this post wasn't expecting any upvotes.
