Hey Wam, can you fwd this email to the womens list for me? thanks

I know it feels like school just started, but UCLA just posted the 
course times for next quarter so I'm going to take this opportunity to 
tell you about one of my pet projects.

a long time ago, in a land far far away, I created the "Satyanash 
Scheduler". It was a java applet that loaded the course database from 
the university and allowed you to enter your scheduling preferences (no 
class fridays, before 10, or after 6, etc...). It was pretty nifty, and 
made it a LOT easier to deal with registering for classes.

I've recently ported this application to facebook, and
 updated it with 
the course timings for the upcoming winter quarter. you can find it here:
http://apps.facebook.com/fbschedules/

I've tested it thoroughly on windows/firefox, I think there may be a 
weird UI issue on MACs, but it *should* be ok if you use firefox on your 
mac. internet explorer should also work fairly well if you have a recent 
version

I encourage you all to try it out, and see for yourselves how much 
easier it makes course registration. It also has an invite dialog that 
you can use to tell your friends about it. If you know people at other 
schools, I'm currently supporting the following:

RPI (Rensselaer)
Univ. Maryland (College Park)
Univ. Maryland (Baltimore)
Berkeley
Ohio State
UPenn
Univ.Michigan

if you have any questions/comments/concerns about the app feel free to 
send me an email.
