Hi. I was active on this site a couple of years ago and had some local scripts which would check every few minutes to see if I had any active games and, if so, send me an email informing me about this. The scripts no longer work because they used the unix wget command, which relied on being able to access a plain text file of cookies; unfortunately my current browser, Google Chrome, stores its cookies in sqlite.

However I do have the option to look at which cookies Chrome is storing for me at LG and then passing them manually to wget. I am too lazy to automate this though and just want to do it manually and only once.

Can anyone tell me which of the six cookies littlegolem.net has will be the one enabling me to convince wget that I am logged in?

Never mind -- I just discovered the "cookie.txt export" extension.

Hey! Does this mean that you're BACK, wccanard? That would be the best news on this site for a long time! :-)

@Marius: I'm afraid it's just a passing visit :-) I have to give two lecture courses this term and have no time to e.g. play in a championship...
