I’m writing a tiny GreaseMonkey script for something, and I’m not going to lie — I fucking hate JavaScript. If I can’t use JQuery (which makes DOM manipulations somewhat reasonable), I’ll just fucking give up. Naturally, this means that, to effectively use GreaseMoneky, I need to load in JQuery.

And naturally, this means that there are only stupid bullshit ways to do that. Injecting a script element into the DOM is stupid. Embedding the entire JQuery library in your GreaseMoneky script is stupid. We want to fetch the fucking script and fucking run it:

GM_xmlhttpRequest({
    'method' : 'GET', 
    'url' : 'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js', 
    'onload' : function(jq) {
        eval(jq.responseText);

        /* ...JQuery shit here... */
    }
});

Now was that so bloody hard?

Also one of my housemates got me a couple fake cigarettes as a late Christmas gift. They’re effectively just pieces of cardboard and some painted copper (which reflects the light in such a way that it looks like it’s glowing) but they’re surprisingly realistic. I think I might start taking “smoke” breaks at my new job and see how long it takes them to notice that these aren’t actually cigarettes.

EDIT: WHEN THE FUCK DID I TURN INTO A FUCKING WEB DEVELOPER.
