How Greasemonkey Saved My Valentine's Day
I am usually really bad about remembering to get my wife a gift or even a card for Valentine's Day. Val is the busiest day of the year at work and I am usually too busy to remember anything. Thats a poor excuse and I pretty much suck.
This year, however, I did remember to order flowers to be delivered on the 14th. I purposely used my Paypal account because I didn't want my wife to see the transaction. Only an hour later I realized that I picked the wrong credit card in the Paypal interface. I chose the card that my wife uses and of course periodically checks the balance. Now I know I really suck.
With a week to go before Val I decided that I needed to take evasive action. Greasemonkey to the rescue. I created a very simple script that replaces all occurrences of FTD with WEBHOST when she is on our bank's site. Now she'll just think I made another stupid purchase.
This only works in Firefox obviously, but all she uses is Ubuntu so I'm safe.
Maybe this will help someone else out....
