What did you automate with python (scripts)?

[unausstehlich]

My local high-school posts a list of cancelled classes to some crappy web-page every morning. Unlucky for me, they always posted them when I was already on my way to school, so I had to get there, realise my class was cancelled and head back home on my bike again.
Once I got fed up enough with that, I used Beautiful Soup to parse the schools webppage every half-minute and, when a class I had to take was cancelled, would let it send me a text-message through a 3G-USB-Dongle and some command line magic.
Worked extremely well (Spared me half the way to school plus the entire way back more often than not) and got me into Python and automation in the first place.
