Day 1249: Online Shopping With Autofill

One of the first problems I had in launching this web site was coming up with the cash to pay for the Domain and Hosting.

Since dead mice and birds don’t seem to count as valid currency, I had to be willing to do anything in order to raise the funds.

I had spent enough lap time with the Big Hairless Ape while he worked his Web Magic that I knew I could build the web site, but I just couldn’t pay for it. What good is this knowledge if I can’t deploy it?

On day 1228 I decided to snuggle with the Big Hairless Ape while he was doing some online shopping. This snuggling is a shameless activity I must endure as I have many facial glands which need massaging frequently.

While he was clicking away, I noticed something. All his logon information on various web sites were already pre-entered for him. All he had to do is hit a login button, and he was spending away. Later, I found out this is a feature in most web browsers called Autofill and works in conjunction with Cookies.

So that night, I managed to get into the cookie jar. Luck was on my side. We had the proper cookie. A Peanut Butter Cookie beside the keyboard while logging into the Big Hairless Ape’s PayPal account did the trick. I was in! And a healthy balance to boot! A few more clicks, I had this web site ordered and paid for. Sweet deal!

Now, it’s 3 weeks later and there’s Peanut Butter Cookies in the house once again. Before everyone eats them, I figured I needed to insure my financial future. With cookie in place, I once again used Autofill as my friend; logging into and purchasing the "Cookie of the Month Club" subscription for the next 2 years. (Specifying "Peanut Butter only")

I now have security in knowing that at least once a month, I’ll have access to some quick cash. I just can’t let the Apes know I can get into the cookie jar.
