What does being awake have to do with anything? Aren't you people supposed to know something about computers?
I'm sure there are ways to do that, but very few people know how to use those tools.
As for MIRI staff staying up there are other reasons to do so, such as monitoring the giving patterns of other orgs, and monitor our attempts to win matching and coordinate those individuals.
(Also FWIW, I think you could have made the suggestion about automating the process, which is a great and helpful idea, in a much nicer and constructive fashion.)
It would be good if you could give detailed instructions on how to do this.
Thanks for the links. I have never used Selenium before but may play with it for this. I expect it will be useful for future things too.
Update: Nope. Selenium is tricky and I'll have to figure out how to use Cron some other time. I'm not losing more sleep over this right now.
Selenium add-on for Firefox definitely sound more fun than waking up every 1.9 hours.
