I'm not sure if anybody has posted this before me, but I highly recommend pitching it to UTS. At the very least, it may allow you some nice contacts + networking

Dillon, is there anyway we can give you credit for this professionally as something you can put on your resume/CV.... I have no idea how such a thing would work but I believe in giving credit when it's due and if there is anyway I can help with that im more than willing!

This feature is done! You can now dynamically make your schedule coloured or monochrome. The maximum number of different coloured courses you can have is 16. I figure people with more than 8 courses per semester don't exist anyway, so that should be fine :p.

Fixed!

I've got the exporting to excel kind of half done at this point... not entirely sure how it will turn out, but I'm pretty sure it will be usable.

I'm also going to try and make some sort of 'save' functionality so that you can reload the timetable you've composed without having to manually enter all the information again, should one want to edit their information again later.

He can quote that it was featured and will prob be perma stickied/featured on MI (Mcmaster's official forum). Shows it does it in his free time and more of a volunteer community based thing. It would be great also if UTS takes this and integrates it into their site.

I can't seem to open it. Then again, I'm currently in Shanghai. Would it be China that's blocking the access like they're blocking FB, or is it some kind of firewall error or whatnot? I'm currently using chrome.

It's possible. The site I'm leeching the webspace to host it from is actually an art/photography website, so I wouldn't be surprised if China was in fact blocking it.

Are there any proxies like hidemyass.com you can use to get around it?

I can't access hidemyass.com either. I'm not sure what you mean by using proxies.

I am having trouble added courses. I see the drop down menu and select the course name but I cannot click on anything else. The other four drop down menus are light grey meaning I cannot click on them and nothing happens when I click on "Next".

Is it because I am using Internet Explorer?

Probably. I never planned to support internet explorer.

I'm having the same problem with both Firefox and Safari, though it used to work just fine.

Are you sure about that? I just tried it in Firefox, and it seems to work just fine :s. You could try clearing your cache; the data the timetable generator uses is actually downloaded separately. It's not impossible that a bad only partially downloaded copy was cached.
