What It’s All About
James Robertson has a screencast that shows an example of why we want to learn to use our available tools to automate repetitive tasks. Apparently, every few minutes, a spammer defaces a couple pages on a particular wiki. His solution is to script the automatic restoration at set intervals.
Question: In your environment, what repetitive tasks do you have to deal with? Is there a way to automate those tasks using tools which are allowed in your environment? (That is an important limitation. Carl Sassenrath, the creator of REBOL, has articulated his frustration with IT staffs that refuse to allow hand-crafted REBOL solutions to remain in their organizations. Incidentally, Carl, I would like to see someone doing a similar daily screencast for REBOL.)
