Congratulation Chad! 


I just found out Friday's my last day - maybe there's something out there for me as well.

I'll say no more.

I was almost done with a little thing using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox to automate some tasks with their terrible API-less Rails app they called a ticketing system. I'm sure my approach could have been cleaner, so that'll be nice to get some experienced eyes on.
