I used to be bored enough sometimes to play some php games, like sportyran (http://www.sportyran.net/fr/foot/)
And a thing I hate is doing all the time the same action, without being able to automate it. The basic idea of this sportyran website at this time was to play a game every 2 hours in order to be super efficient. So I had to log in, and click on the same buttons every 2hours. I have to admit that it wasn’t really smart and that sometimes I needed to sleep, so I made a really simple software which went every 2 hours on the website, check if I could play, launched the game searching engine, and then went back on google (we can see who is connected on the game website.. didn’t want people to notice!)
I modified the software once, just to be able to do the same for my second team.. and then I got bored of the game :p
The code is really simple, just using the WebBrowser from the Visual Studio IDE (the application is coded in C#), a timer and a function which scans the value of the different buttons.
Here is a screenshot of the software:
