Python script to detect new CE grand quiz question
While waiting for today's CE grand quiz question - reloading, and reloading - I wrote a python script to automate the process 😉
Here is it:
Note the parts in green:
-------------------------
* The second one is the number of seconds between subsequent checks for the CE page
* The first one is a system command which you can use to perform an alerting action
(Here I gave the command to run my Xion music player, which will start playing the song the moment it opens. Works as a pretty good alert!)
Change it with your own values
Here is it:
