Maker's Monday

Trying out a new weekly thread idea.

This would be a thread for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers. We can coordinate weekly standup type meetings if their is interest.

@ArjinFerman, @Turniper, and myself all had some initial interest.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

No email address required.

The dev console is built into all major browsers and needs no special permissions. Press F12, and it will pop up.

As for extensions, I meant writing your own. I had a quick look to see if you can get access to the clipboard from them, and the multiple clipboard history extensions that are available would imply that it should work. Once you have the data in the clipboard you'd need some javascript to select the right elements and paste the values into them, it should be pretty easy.

I think if the IT dept is extremely anal, they might prevent installation of extensions, but there's a good chance they left it open. You'd need to get it published in the Chrome Store though (there's a way to put the browser in "developer mode" and install anything you want, but that might get him screamed at by IT as well)

Thanks for the ideas and the clarification!
