Forked from Stalk-the-DMV, which only supports querying available appointment date for driving test. This advanced version added features:
- Query both normal appointment(written test, replace driver license,...) and driving test
- Make appointment automatically
- Set desired time range for appointment
- Save confirm page as screenshot in local directory
- Send keepalive message to Slack channel
Grab your local copy.

There is different fetching frequency between daytime and nighttime, so you may need to correct the timezone on your machine.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Obtain a slack token. Then, create a config file - this should be kept hidden! In the current directory, enter the following:
echo "SLACK_TOKEN='your-token-here'" >> creds.py
Don't forget to replace the string above with your own slack token. When that is done, open settings.py and update it with your information.
