MouseHole is a scriptable proxy. Like Greasemonkey, but scripts are in Ruby. This is what we’ve been getting at.

• Windows users: mousehole-1.0-exe.zip
• Everyone else: mousehole-1.0.tar.gz or mousehole-1.0.zip

No installation, just unzip/untar. Run mouseHole.exe or ruby mouseHole.rb (depending on your download). Proxy goes to IP 127.0.0.1 and port 37004. User scripts go in the userScripts directory. Proxy runs any .user.rb scripts in that directory.

If you want to Hoodwink through MouseHole, log in and click on the user.rb link in the top menu. Put the script in the userScripts directory and restart mouseHole.

A few things to note:

• It’s slow.
• The HTML can get pretty munged up.
• Crashes are common.
