Better living through bookmarklets; or, one-​​click switch between UW dev and production servers

Bookmarklets are small scripts that live in your browser's bookmark bar and make life easier. If you're a UW developer who often needs to switch between the development and production versions of files living on the www.washington.edu servers, your life just got a bit easier. I'm pleased to introduce "www2udev," a bookmarklet I wrote to simplify that task. Drag it to your bookmark bar and start saving time and keystrokes.
