JavaScripted

I spent the better part of my 8 hour shift this morning improving a GreaseMonkey script for IvoryTower. GreaseMonkey is a Firefox plugin that allows me to install custom JavaScript files into pages that meet certain criteria. The gist is that it automatically updates Wikipedia-style links (such as [[Topic]] will link you to that topic) when I am posting to the forum.

The best part was when I got to implement a screen-scraping algorithm with AJAX. It complicated things a bit, but allowed me to learn some of the more complicated Javascript, but also hack workarounds. It was quite interesting, and I hope to find more uses for GreaseMonkey.
