If you didn’t see my updates in the Wikis in question, I’ll also make note of it here.

I’ve updated my Greasemonkey autonetid scripts to work now with Confluence wikis. With this script, when you open a Confluence login page your NetID is automatically entered as the login and the focus is on the password field. (It also enables the ‘Keep me logged in’ checkbox if it exists.)

Known working servers are the CITES Wiki, DCS Agora and GSLIS Wiki/Hive.

You might also be interested in the script that pre-populates Bluestem login fields, and the GSLIS Moodle/CAS login fields. All are available off my Greasemonkey page. You’ll probably need to save them locally and edit them to use your NetID.

I have to admit, today’s Angry Professor made me laugh out loud.

The huzzah about friends getting basketball season tickets, and the Illini Madness event this Friday got me stoked about the upcoming season. Last night, I did my data-mining magic from the schedule off fightingillini.com into something I can easily import into Outlook. (I’ve done this the last few years as well.) I’m still running the 2003 version of Outlook, so the same import rules apply. I’m still hoping for a dynamic iCal environment for Outlook (Google Calendar does it!) but I’m not quite there yet. Also, my calendars didn’t include the Big10 Tourney or the post season tournaments, so be sure to add those. Enjoy!
