FYI - there was a thread a couple of weeks ago about someone checking
the schedule multiple times per day and it seems that Cisco locks you
out after so many accesses per day.
Cisco must have gotten smart and stops the script access to the
schedule.
Later.

I have had few people ask me about this script. Unfortunately, I
deleted it
long ago. You can use Perl and LWP to write one if you know what you
are
doing. I didn't, however, and therefore wasted a lot of time that would
have been much better spent studying. I was so tired of working in my
lab
at that point that even writing Perl seemed like more fun :).
Just keep checking the site. Even with the big changes coming Jan 1,
there
are still people who will find they are not ready and cancel their slot
instead of blowing $1250.
